Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

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

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...

The rapid progress of quantum technologies is reshaping the foundations of secure communication. On one hand, quantum ...

Quantum computing is on course to take several steps forward this year. Quantum computing is a cutting-edge technology that has yet to be proven out, but numerous companies are working on producing ...

Quantum computers don’t just run faster—they operate under entirely different rules. Instead of processing one outcome at a time, they explore vast possibilities simultaneously. This opens the door to ...

The vast problem-solving potential of quantum computing, along with its deep ties to artificial intelligence, health care, materials science and cybersecurity, underlines how important the industry is ...
