Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

NPL has joined forces with other leading National Metrology Institutes to shape the international standards effort in quantum ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For the first time, researchers have directly imaged the restless motion of atoms ...

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

Imagine a super-cold, ultra-thin layer of electrons trapped in a strong magnetic field. Normally, electrons move independently, but under extreme conditions, they start behaving in a highly ...

In the quantum world, molecules are always on the move. And for the first time ever, scientists have directly captured these tiny quantum dances in action—and they did so by blowing them up real good.

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.
