As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward ...

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 ...

This year, quantum science and computing came up a lot. There have been broad claims that quantum science and engineering could one day help cure diseases, design new materials, optimize supply chains ...

And then it got me.” A handful of decades and an MIT physics doctorate later, Tan is the chief science officer (CSO) of ...

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 ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...
