Quantum technologies are often associated with extraordinary complexity. The states that give quantum devices their potential ...

Scientists made headlines last week for supposedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves the use of a quantum computer to simulate a wormhole in a simplified model of ...

Wormholes might sound like something that belongs in a Star Trek episode rather than a research paper, but scientists just simulated one on Google’s Sycamore quantum computer. The result suggests ...

A breakthrough quantum physics experiment has revealed a startling result. Scientists measured “negative time” as photons ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes how matter and energy behave at atomic, molecular, and nanoscale dimensions, where particles can act like waves, energies become quantized, ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
