Taken from the January 2019 issue of Physics World, where it appeared under the headline "It's a quantum world". That’s all great, but what’s the motivation? After all, if you’re not familiar with ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

As the technologies we use become more quantum in nature, it follows that everyone should have a basic understanding of quantum physics. To explore how quantum physics can be taught to the masses, I ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, ...

Today (April 14) marks 2025's World Quantum Day, an international celebration held to promote public understanding of quantum science. The date, 4/14, was chosen because 4.14 represents the first ...

Joseph Tindall, a quantum physics researcher at the Flatiron Institute, for instance, led a study in March as a direct response to D-Wave, performing similar calculations to their test on a plain ...

Jan. 27, 2025 — The world of quantum physics is experiencing a second revolution, which will drive an exponential leap in the progress of computing, the internet, telecommunications ...

In quantum physics, the state of a particle is described by a wave equation, which tells us the probabilities of where a particle might be or what its properties might be. This probability wave ...

Space-time is just the tip of the iceberg: Below the surface is a vast, unseen world of possibility, says quantum physicist Ruth Kastner. Here, she explores the idea of transactional interpretation.
