Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it, but scientists have always ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Greg Engel and Julian Solway are building a new field to deliver cutting-edge patient care that requires a level of precision most patients won’t need to understand—and that’s just fine. “Think of an ...

Nobel Committee member Göran Johansson explains elements of quantum mechanics during a press conference to announce the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics on October 7 in Stockholm. Christine ...

Recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, highlighted by the Nobel Prize in Physics, are fundamentally changing the energy sector by enabling new forms of energy harvesting that surpass thermodynamic ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

The Laboratory team’s quantum “demon” uses information about a quantum system’s state and measurement results to drive similarly unusual processes, reversing the usual arrow of time in a quantum ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

Fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028: the DOE’s Quantum Genesis initiative sets a hard deadline for the world’s first ...
