In a lab in Hangzhou, China, a small chip may have just passed one of the most difficult honesty tests in physics. The test ...

Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Quantum dynamics in Schrödinger operators lies at the heart of modern theoretical physics, marrying quantum theory with advanced mathematical analysis to elucidate the evolution of disordered and ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

Nobel Prize winners showcase quantum tunnelling in macroscopic circuits, paving the way for quantum computing.

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

A conjecture called superdeterminism, outlined decades ago, is a response to several peculiarities of quantum mechanics: the apparent randomness of quantum events; their apparent dependence on human ...
