In day to day life, we intuitively understand how the world works. Drop a glass and it will smash to the floor. Push a wagon and it will roll along. Walk to a wall and you can't walk through it.

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the discovery of quantum mechanics in 1925 that we celebrate here. So I’ll ...

Modeling the quantum ... to quantum mechanics. It’s the measurement that makes the system collapse in a specific state, so ...

In the 1920s, Louis de Broglie in France was studying the new science theories of quantum mechanics. He knew that physicists now believed light waves--usually thought of as a constantly ...

Engineers and physicists at UCL have developed a new fabrication process for building quantum computers that achieves an ...

Olival Freire Jr is a professor of physics and the history of physics at the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. What makes matter stable? Why are atoms as they are? Why do different materials ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with ...

Until now, creating quantum superpositions of ultra-cold atoms has been a real headache, too slow to be realistic in the ...

While much is still to be explored, this work opens new paths for understanding the early universe and the profound interplay between quantum mechanics and the fabric of spacetime.

With quantum technologies like computing and secure communications requiring entanglement, understanding how to create stable ...

The Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), an expansion of the existing Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC) program, aims to determine the possibility of building an ...
