Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum Chromodynamics ...

One of the major breakthroughs proposed by Einstein in 1905 was the quantum theory of light, which posited that light is made up of small particles, known as photons, and these quantum particles ...

As if AI itself weren't futuristic enough, there's a new leap forward on the horizon: quantum AI. It's a fusion of artificial intelligence with unconventional and still largely experimental ...

Quantum computing might sound like the kind of sci-fi plot device used to explain how a character traveled through time or shrank to the size of an ant. But the technology is very real, and ...

Last month Microsoft announced, with fanfare, that it had created a new kind of matter and used it to make a quantum computer architecture that could lead to machines “capable of solving ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

Some physicists are questioning Microsoft's February claim that it made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. The claims are "not reliable and must be revisited," says Henry Legg, a ...

In the quantum world, our intuitive grasp of past, present and future may not apply. Richard Fisher explores the discombobulating concepts of "negative time" and "retrocausality". Tony Soprano is ...
