Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how quantum wave functions ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

A research team from the Technical University of Munich, Princeton University, and Google Quantum AI has revealed that quantum computers could play a key role in decoding the building blocks of nature ...

Quantum computers promise transformative advances in cryptography, materials science, chemistry and complex systems modeling. They will do this by harnessing the "superposition" and "destructive ...

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new ...
