Physicists have created a Schrödinger's cat state at unusually hot temperatures, and it could be a major step toward the development of practical quantum computers. Schrödinger's cat states exist in ...

The Colorado School of Mines is transforming the depths of the Edgar Experimental Mine into a specialized quantum research laboratory. The initiative, which is dubbed the Colorado Underground Research ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

Japan has put a real ion-trap quantum device online, making it accessible through the cloud Japan has taken a practical step ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

The first time I went under the knife, I remember the anesthesiologist asking me to count backward. “Ten, nine, eight…” and then it all went black. The next thing I knew, three hours had passed, yet ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American This was supposed to be an action-packed ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...
