It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

The race to harness quantum mechanics for computing power is finally colliding with the real economy. After a century of theory and lab work, quantum technologies are moving from chalkboards and ...

Interdisciplinary teams across the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) are using innovative approaches to push the boundaries of superconducting qubit technology, bridging the gap between today's NISQ ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Even if you’ve never set foot inside a physics classroom, you probably have a pretty solid grasp of the laws governing how objects move and behave. Throw a basketball against a wall and it bounces off ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

Mind = blown.

Accelerate the future of technology by studying one of the world’s most cutting-edge fields: quantum information science and engineering (QISE). This exciting discipline is at the forefront of today’s ...

Why talk to your dog about physics? : an introduction to quantum physics -- Which way? both ways : particle-wave duality -- Where's my bone? : the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle -- Schrödinger's Dog ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...
