Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) aims to expand public understanding of quantum technologies, including their transformative potential. For our broad readership, could ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

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 ...

It’s not easy to study quantum systems — collections of particles that follow the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a cornerstone of quantum theory, says ...
