Researchers once struggled to understand unconventional solutions developed by artificial intelligence. A new approach leads ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

ETH Zurich researchers levitated a nano glass sphere cluster with record-setting quantum purity at room temperature, avoiding costly cooling. Using optical tweezers, they isolated quantum zero-point ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it. While most physicists agree that human ...
