Physicists have directly visualized the fundamental electronic building blocks of flat-band quantum materials, a class of ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

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 ...

Strategic recruitment of international talent is helping Denmark establish itself as a research powerhouse in quantum science and technology Shared purpose Maria Cerdà Sevilla and her colleagues at ...

Researchers explore quantum machine learning to detect financial risk faster in high-frequency trading, achieving promising accuracy in experimental models.

Quantum computers have performed the full slate of tricks needed for robust computation. And it all came down to a little magic. In a pair of papers submitted June 17 at arXiv.org, researchers ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
