Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

Automatically numbering and weighting electronic states instead of taking averages improves estimates of target molecular orbitals.

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

A record-breaking neutrino detection in 2023 may mark the first time humans witnessed a primordial black hole exploding, and these ancient objects could be the dark matter holding galaxies together.

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...
