A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades. The findings could reshape ...

While various studies have hinted at the existence of dark matter, its nature, composition and underlying physics remain poorly understood. In recent years, physicists have been theorizing about and ...

A research team led by Dominik Schneble, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative radiative ...

Scientists have taken an important step toward building quantum detectors that could reveal some of the universe’s biggest secrets. Using a prototype device with two clouds of ultracold atoms, ...

Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which particles do not follow single, predictable paths but instead exist as clouds ...

Dr. Pravir Malik is the founder and technologist of QIQuantum and the Forbes Technology Council group leader for Quantum Computing. For decades, the promise of quantum computing has rested on the ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, but time keeps moving.

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, ...

Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip includes eight topological quantum bits. Microsoft claims that building its first quantum-computing chip required that it create a new state of matter, which it is ...

Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer. Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers’ ...
