In theory, a quantum computer could perform calculations vastly more quickly than today’s conventional computers.

A study led by the University of Portsmouth has achieved unprecedented precision in detecting tiny shifts in light ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that would be impossible for the most powerful classical ...

Quantum entanglement, one of the strangest and most powerful aspects of physics, has just been taken to a new level with the ...

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold ...

A new study has achieved unprecedented precision in detecting tiny shifts in light displacements at the nanoscale. This is relevant for example in the characterisation of birefringent materials and in ...

Researchers at Empa have taken a significant step toward practical quantum computing by creating and manipulating Heisenberg ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Physicists use mathematical assumptions in many situations that forbid time from moving backwards – but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of quantum reality ...
