Scientists can now calculate how shared reality emerges from the strange quantum world where particles can exist in many ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

So, quantum computing teleportation. It sounds like something out of science fiction, right? But it’s actually a ...

This infographic depicts a simplified diagram of the novel energy-harvesting technique using the TL liquid. Implementation of this strategy in practice could help in the conversion of waste heat ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
