Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

A research team has achieved the holy grail of quantum computing: an exponential speedup that’s unconditional. By using ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Quantum researchers finally captured the field’s “holy grail,” showing real machines can beat classical computing ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage More than 300 top quantum physicists gathered ...

By making electrons behave as waves, a collaboration of researchers from Israel and China has produced light with quantum effects, a necessary step towards controlling quantum computers ...

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and gravity. Similar variables dictate rolling a pair of dice or shuffling a deck ...

Consciousness gives rise to a sense of self and personal agency. The question is, how do biological processes give rise to ...
