A research team has created a quantum logic gate that uses fewer qubits by encoding them with the powerful GKP ...

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that ...

Researchers used Google’s quantum processor to simulate fundamental physics, offering a new way to study the universe’s basic forces and particles. The fundamental forces that shape our universe are ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...

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

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

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.

Bose introduced the ground-breaking notion of indistinguishability of particles into the evolving quantum theory to rectify the problem, culminating in an equation describing the distribution of ...

Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library No single country or region dominates quantum-physics research in the Nature Index; institutions from China, Europe and the United States all feature in the top 10.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

Quantum mechanics might sound like something from a science fiction film. You hear words like particles, waves, atoms, and energy, and it can all feel too big to understand. But at a Physics summer ...
