Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...

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

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

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 ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Conventional wisdom has it that putting the ...

This year, quantum science and computing came up a lot. There have been broad claims that quantum science and engineering ...

For years, physicists treated an Earth-to-space quantum uplink as a beautiful idea that nature simply would not allow. Now a ...

Quantum physics is quietly rewriting the rulebook for how far and how fast humanity might travel beyond Earth. A cluster of ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

The US administration is banking on public-private partnerships and an expanded workforce to deliver progress, but critics ...

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, ...
