Quantum physics may be the secret ingredient for understanding cosmic objects that our telescopes cannot show us in detail, or at all. To understand space, we collect and analyse light that travels ...

Quantum information science and quantum information technology have seen a virtual explosion worldwide. The explosion is all based on the observation that fundamental quantum phenomena on the ...

Quantum mechanics is usually described as the science of the very small — of electrons, atoms, and photons that behave in ways that defy the rules of everyday experience. Yet one of the most striking ...

Trapped and squeezed: A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the centre of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: three shiny new medals, 11 million Swedish kronor (to be divided ...

RICHARD FEYNMAN, one of the 20th century’s greatest physicists, once quipped, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Appropriately, then, a certain sense of bemusement ...

Portraits of John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis are displayed on a screen during a press conference announcing winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics at the Royal Swedish Academy ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has been awarded to John Clarke of the University of California, Berkeley, Michel H. Devoret of Yale University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, and ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that revealed quantum behavior in electrical circuits, showing that even systems made of ...
