Zero-point energy sits at a strange crossroads between hard physics and science fiction, promising limitless power from the ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Rice scientists and collaborators were able to prolong quantum behavior in an experimental system nearly 30-fold by using ultracold temperatures and laser wavelengths to generate a "magic trap" that ...

Quantum computers rely on particles behaving in ways that defy everyday logic. Qubits can exist in multiple states at once, interact instantly through entanglement, and collapse when observed. This ...

The development of quantum computers will make everything "happen better", a researcher at a top university has said. A team from Oxford University’s department of physics are among researchers from ...

In a major accomplishment for quantum mechanics research, scientists at Durham University in the UK have achieved the first-ever quantum entanglement of molecules. The team used precisely controlled ...

BOSTON, July 14, 2025 — A team of scientists from QuEra Computing, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reported the experimental demonstration of magic state ...

This is the seventh and final installment in our series exploring the guiding principles of the 2025 International Year of Quantum. As we reach the crescendo of our journey through the eight guiding ...
