Physical systems become inherently more complicated and difficult to produce in a lab as the number of dimensions they exist ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Researchers have taken a major step forward in studying time crystals—exotic materials with unusual, ...

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are no longer speculative technologies. They are reshaping cybersecurity, ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
