Maryland is planning as if that timeline could be close enough to matter. Gov. Wes Moore calls quantum computing a "lighthouse industry" and has backed a ...

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...

Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Continuous variable (CV) quantum information processing—used in quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generation (QRNG)—relies on measuring the amplitude and phase of light waves.

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...

For centuries, physics assumed that objects follow a single, well-defined path through space. Quantum mechanics says that assumption is wrong. According to Feynman’s formulation, particles explore ...

For the first time in Cougar history, Brigham Young University students competed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

What if another version of you exists in a parallel universe, influencing your life without you even knowing it? A new ...
