When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

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

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

The sheer pace of quantum activity from tech firms in 2025 would have been unthinkable even five years ago, says Catherine ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

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

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
