In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot questions in quantum theory.

Researchers have discovered that it’s possible to speed up, slow down, or reverse the flow of time in a quantum system.

Metals are shiny, malleable, and fusible hard materials readily conducting heat and electricity. The mobility of electrons within the bulk solid accounts for their peculiar properties useful for ...

Not too long ago, the world was worried about runaway population growth. But with birth rates falling too fast, the scramble is on to avoid the demographic crunch.

The thing about realizing the love of your life has already come and gone is that it doesn't happen the way you'd expect.

Today's encryption works well, until tomorrow's quantum computers arrive.

Quantum computers in space could be useful for communications networks or for testing fundamental physics.

Scientists produce quantum entanglement-like results without entangled particles in new experiment by Krystal Kasal, Phys.org ...

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise to quantum mechanics — the "spooky" science of the very small.

Scientists at the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) and the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) at Paderborn University have developed a powerful open-source software tool ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

The South Point High School is celebrating 100 years of Quantum Mechanics this year, as the United Nations have declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, to ...
