Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Doretha Clemons, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, has been a ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

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 ...

Beyond artificial intelligence (AI), another transformative technology that could reshape industries and reorder geopolitical power is finally moving out of the lab: quantum.

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...
