People tend to think of quantum materials—whose properties arise from quantum mechanical effects—as exotic curiosities. But ...
Quantum information systems, systems that process, store or transmit information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could ...
Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge. (Nanowerk News) A rare and bewildering intermediate ...
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honors a trio whose 1980s experiments made quantum circuits—and today’s quantum ...
A study from Rice University, published in PRX Quantum Oct. 1, 2025, has found that energy transfers more quickly between molecular sites when it starts in an entangled, delocalized quantum state ...
Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...
On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of ...
Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...
A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The findings come ...
