Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Google unveiled its Quantum Echoes algorithm that blows past previous quantum developments with "verifiable" results.

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Quantum blobs: this latest research borrowed from ideas about how diffusion occurs in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Describing how matter behaves at the quantum-mechanical level is notoriously ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...
