One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

Physicists found bizarre metal-like behavior in an insulator at extreme magnetic fields, revealing quantum oscillations deep inside the material, not just on its surface.

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Now, IonQ is building on what it gained from Oxford Ionics, announcing a new, record-low error rate for two-qubit gates: ...
