A study published in April 2026 in Proceedings of the Royal Society A shows a different possibility. Researchers demonstrated that a foundational classical principle can reproduce the exact same ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...

You might have heard of quantum physics in science class or from Iron Man in a Marvel movie. Well, quantum physics has its own day of recognition. Every April 14, scientists, students, and curious ...

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 ...

Photons traveling through a cloud of atoms can emerge so early that they appear to have spent a negative amount of time ...

A new study in Nature Communications has established a link between the Riemann Hypothesis and dynamical phase transitions in engineered quantum systems, demonstrating the effect on a quantum ...

Digital security currently relies on difficult equations to protect data. For example, when you use a credit card online, the ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science. Reading time 6 minutes The use of the word “quantum” has become ...

Science Gallery Bengaluru’s new show features 40 exhibits that use art, science and design to make the quantum world tangible. Visitors can explore ‘Quantum Foam’ to ‘Quantum Jungle’.

In my first year of graduate school, I briefly shared an office with a quiet, older graduate student. When we finally managed some chit-chat, I learned that he was “working on theory of glasses with ...

Majorana 2 is Microsoft's newest quantum chip, introduced at Microsoft Build 2026 as a major milestone in the company's quantum computing roadmap. The Majorana 2 quantum chip is designed to advance ...

In December 2019, a bad tooth almost killed me. A terrible toothache turned into the biggest health crisis of my life, ultimately landing me in an intensive care unit for a week. Once I recovered, I ...
