Quantum computing is an emerging field that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computation. A quantum computer is a very different type of computer that uses the weird rule of quantum ...

In a study by TU Wien and FU Berlin, researchers have measured what happens when quantum physical information is lost. This clarifies important connections between thermodynamics, information theory ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

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 ...
