On a breezy afternoon last autumn in Cambridge, Mass., in a laboratory thrumming with the huff-whish-huff sound of ...

On the anniversary of his death, we unpack the brilliance of jazz-fusion trailblazer Allan Holdsworth, with some help from ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science. Those water-logged scientists, Charles Bennett and Gilles ...

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is. Reading time 3 minutes The entire spiel of ...

Caltech researchers cut quantum computing qubit estimates by 100x, putting encryption-breaking quantum computers theoretically within reach this decade.
