For almost a century, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle's position and momentum cannot be known at the same time with absolute ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

In the words of Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss, space and time cannot contain the fundamental laws of physics because they generate ...

Building a working quantum internet would require overcoming a host of technical challenges, but researchers who have built ...

Number of measurements required to learn about the behaviour of a complex, noisy quantum system reduced by a factor of 1011 ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Three University of California scientists were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for a series of experiments they conducted in the 1980s that laid the groundwork for modern quantum computing.

Today's encryption works well, until tomorrow's quantum computers arrive. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's Expert ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

NPL is coordinating a broad-scope UK research initiative on performance metrics and benchmarking for quantum computers ...
