Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

For decades, physics has explained the transition from the quantum world to the classical world as a loss: coherence dissipates, superposition collapses, ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

Step aside, artificial intelligence. Another transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and reorder ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists-Dr. John Clarke (Professor Emeritus, University of California ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

In December 2024, Google's Willow chip became the first quantum processor to demonstrate "below threshold" error correction. That's the holy grail physicists have chased for 30 years. The chip showed ...

By inserting tiny imperfections into the stones, scientists open up possibilities in computing, encryption and sensors ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with ...
