Alright, let’s talk about quantum computing—don’t worry, you don’t need a physics degree or a lab coat for this one. Quantum computers are like the supercharged, cooler cousins of the computers we use ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, researchers have captured quantum uncertainty in real time using ultrafast pulses of light. Nearly a century after Werner Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

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 ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

Today's encryption works well, until tomorrow's quantum computers arrive. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's Expert ...

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for ...

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 ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...
