For more than a century, the laws of thermodynamics have helped us understand how energy moves, how engines work, and why time seems to flow in one direction. Now, researchers have made a similarly ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

Waveguide-style approach promises to pair the versatility of phononic quantum technologies with the tight control of photonic ...

A new type of germanium superconductor could allow classical and quantum chips to be built into one device, creating better ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Topological monopoles are a quantum physics phenomenon that can decay into what’s ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

Waves don’t just shape oceans or ripple across a pond. They also shape the building blocks of our universe—light, sound, and even the tiny vibrations inside atoms and molecules. These vibrations, ...
