Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

The combination of the elliptical orbit, affecting the speed of the planet, and the axial tilt, causing the length of ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

From frozen bonfires to quantum physics, why light still matters to our hopes, our science and our long Alaska winters.

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion towards the construction of a new particle ...

Cloud Access: Quantum computers are increasingly available through the cloud. This means more people and smaller companies ...

It’s so new, it’s generally deemed pre-commercial. Revenues are above zero, but barley so. And rather than being normal sales ...

As with AI, part of the excitement is driven by the immense leaps that could be made in hard problems by a quantum computer. And much of the anxiety is that China is investing in quantum too, and ...

Patrick Kaczmarek, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in applied physics and mechanical engineering, was awarded a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to work on a project ...

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 ...
