Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false vacuum. This state appears stable but could, over immense timescales, ...

Earlier this month Vodeb and his colleagues published the findings of their cosmic bubble simulation in Nature Physics. Using ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them ...

"This exciting work, which merges cutting-edge quantum simulation with deep theoretical physics, shows how close we are to ...

By combining digital and analog quantum simulation into a new hybrid approach, scientists have already started to make fresh ...

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it's true ...

Quantum technology and AI are massive growth opportunities and change agents for companies, workers, customers and investors ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts ...

Majorana 1 relies on ‘topological superconductivity,’ a never-before-seen theoretical form of matter.

I don’t understand the Majorana particle, topological qubits, or much else about Microsoft’s quantum computing breakthrough, but I am not alone in that. The Wall Street Journal covers the physics ...
