Causality is key to our experience of reality: dropping a glass, for example, causes it to smash, so it can’t smash before it’s dropped. But in the quantum world those rules don’t necessarily apply, ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

Computers, the internet and digitization have been major driving forces of innovation over the last 50 years, but classical computing architecture has its limits. Quantum computing is emerging as a ...

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

Scientists have created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium that has allowed them to see in greater detail how analogue black holes behave and interact with their ...

Research has revealed fascinating insights into how consciousness might emerge from quantum processes within the brain. Scientists have identified that microtubules, microscopic hollow tubes found ...

Scientists, researchers and some big companies are eager to jumpstart the next generation of computing, one that will be far more sophisticated and dependent on understanding the subatomic nature of ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age. Now, 100 years later, researchers across ...

The agency is celebrating 2025 being designated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology with an educational campaign. Quantum science, and especially its most popular offshoot, ...

Lately, I've been obsessively reading posts about quantum physics on the question and answer site Quora, where ordinary dullards such as myself ask questions like, "How is it possible for an electron ...
