What is the fundamental nature of reality? What is the true essence of human consciousness? These questions will take center stage at the Nature of Reality Seminar, a major interdisciplinary gathering ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

A preliminary analysis suggests that industrially useful quantum computers designs come with a broad spectrum of energy ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Instead of superconducting circuits cooled to near absolute zero, photonic systems use light particles as qubits.

Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold ...

Stephen Hawking was a British theoretical physicist, cosmologist and author whose study and work on black holes and the universe made him one of the most recognisable figures in the field of science.

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

The earliest acoustic vibrations in the cosmos weren’t exactly sound – they travelled at half the speed of light and there ...

The paper looked specifically at what might be happening on the moon in terms of geology. As far as we can tell, Europa has ...
