Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single ...

Quantum computing stocks continued to sell off Thursday, leaving Quantum Computing ( QUBT) as the only U.S.-listed quantum ...

When markets panic, rumors tend to fly. In Bitcoin 's (CRYPTO: BTC) case, one of the more absurd narratives during the difficult Feb. 5 sell off was a speculation that a quantum computer would soon ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Quantum computing's road to mainstream use is long. That means significant gains over the next few years are very possible.

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind.

This post features biographies and notable quotes from oral history interviews with planetary geophysicist Lynnae Quick, ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness into a realm that starts to look uncomfortably like everyday matter. Instead ...

Laurent Simons became one of the world’s youngest PhD recipients in November, earning a doctorate in quantum physics from the University of Antwerp. The 15-year-old boy now plans to pursue a second ...

Quantum mechanics controls reality on the smallest levels, but when scaled up, it’s often difficult to gauge how and why this realm matters in the practical world. That said, physicists will on ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...
