A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and collapses in "open quantum environments" existing in nature. Since ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

A team of physicists has shown that quantum-encrypted keys can travel 75 miles through the same fiber-optic cable already ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

For years, quantum computers have carried a bold promise. They could solve problems so complex that even the world’s best ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Adolf Hitler died ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of science is under construction that centres conscious experience – and might ...

Fears that quantum computing could one day break Bitcoin’s cryptography have sparked a heated debate across the crypto industry. But according to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital (GLXY), ...

IonQ is a pure-play quantum computing stock, as that's the company's only focus. Alphabet is responsible for key breakthroughs that have brought quantum computing much closer to real-world use.
