Large-scale quantum computers are waiting in the wings. One of the main reasons we don't have them yet is because quantum ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...

But such measurements are notoriously challenging: the instruments used are themselves governed by quantum laws, and their interaction with particles can alter the very properties they are meant to ...

The wave nature of quantum particles underpins interference phenomena, which can influence chemical reactions by producing oscillatory patterns in ...

This week, CERN announced that it has detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the Xi-cc-plus. It's ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Laurent Simons, a 15-year-old Belgian researcher, has earned a PhD in quantum physics and says he plans to create ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Students learn the core quantum concepts during this program, the nonprofit's CEO and founder said.
