A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...

The Princeton Quantum Initiative’s Ph.D. program is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

Recent advances in quantum technologies are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for pushing the boundaries of High Energy Physics (HEP), offering innovative paradigms for simulating quantum field ...

Quantum researchers are in a race for qubits, and Microsoft is in the thick of the competition. “If anybody believes this means that Microsoft is close to a commercial quantum computer, they’re ...

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that ...
