One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...
