The standard model of particle physics works really well, but it can't explain why the universe exists. Something is missing, ...

The Kondo effect is one of the most important in quantum physics, describing the strange interference that magnetic atoms can ...

This article is a "basics" installment in a series where Dr. Hakase and Manabu-kun explain cutting-edge technology in an easy-to-understand way. It is written so that it can be read without any ...

There's a profound worry underlying the fundamental physics of existence: The Universe may not be quite as stable as we'd ideally like it to be. Quantum field theory describes invisible quantum fields ...

A concept from the field of quantum mechanics, spin is a property of particles that has no direct counterpart in everyday ...

Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, once said something that should either comfort or terrify you: “Nobody understands quantum mechanics.” This wasn’t a confession of ...

Quantum physics says these things do not behave like ordinary objects; instead, they can be observed in probabilistic ways, where you can only predict the chances of any measurement outcome, not the ...

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware. Researchers used tensor networks to compress the overwhelming wave function ...

The headline practically writes itself. A 78-year-old man, whose friend told law enforcement had been working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on quantum physics experiments related to the ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

Quantum computing is no longer a field that exists only in research papers. Companies are hiring, salaries are rising, and the roles themselves are becoming more defined. According to QED-C’s State of ...
