Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

A new recipe of "quadratic gravity" could help to better define the picture of the Big Bang and the singularity that existed ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

The latest "Google Doodle" to adorn the Google search engine home page is celebrating achievements in quantum physics - and aiming to spread interest in the field. Google's Doodle webpage explains ...
