Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Quantum technology research at the Cavendish Laboratory will benefit from a new collaboration with FormationQ, an independent platform for quantum adoption and application, to help speed translation ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...
