The first warp drive design from the early 90s required massive amounts of negative energy, but three decades of honing the math later, scientists have lowered that threshold considerably. Now, a new ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

A correction to an earlier version of this article has been appended to the end of the article. Retired UC Berkeley physics professor John Clarke and two former colleagues were awarded the Nobel Prize ...

Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...

Quantum physics can seem pretty tough at first, but there are a lot of books out there that make it way less scary. If you’re just starting out and want to learn about quantum physics without getting ...

“Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it. If there’s one law of physics ...

It’s one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical ...

Last year at SC24, when we first heard about HPE’s quantum strategy – which could be summed up as “when the quantum community delivers something useful, we’ll be there with a supercomputer-qubits plug ...

Quantum technologies have long underpinned modern foundational technologies, including lasers, atomic clocks, transistors, and semiconductor devices. Today, advancements in quantum information science ...
