Three young start-up founders ditched university because it can’t keep up with artificial intelligence. “You can just learn so much better on the job.” ...

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test the boundaries of physics ...

In the era of instant data exchange and growing risks of cyberattacks, scientists are seeking secure methods of transmitting information. One promising solution is quantum cryptography—a quantum ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred years, physics has rested on two foundational theories. Einstein’s general ...

Silicides—alloys of silicon and metals long used in microelectronics—are now being explored again for quantum hardware. But their use faces a critical challenge: achieving phase purity, since some ...

Japanese researchers have revealed how weak magnetic fields can instantly control the direction of electrical flow in quantum metals. Quantum metals are materials in which quantum effects, usually ...

In any experiment, specifying a physical quantity of interest always relies on a reference frame. For example, identifying the time at which an event happens only makes sense relative to a clock.

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years away.” But in 2025, the story has changed. Quantum technology is no longer ...

Chicago researchers see opportunity to enhance world-leading quantum ecosystem with state- of-the-art facility on Chicago’s South Side ...

If you would like to learn more about how the Nobel Prize for Physics is awarded, check out this profile of Lars Brink, who served on the Nobel Committee for Physics on eight occasions.

Researchers at Duke University have received a $2.66 million grant from the National Science Foundation to build a 96-qubit quantum computer by 2027 using trapped ions. Larger than any current quantum ...
