Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

India’s National Quantum Mission leverages nuclear legacy to lead in quantum computing, communication, sensing, and deep-tech ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Appearance is one thing, but reality is another. The world does not appear to be a hologram, but maybe it is. Thus begins ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

The basic idea of 3D time isn't new. But University of Alaska geophysicist Gunther Kletetschka says his mathematical ...

Quantum dots beat traditional photosensitizers at their own game. They tackle reactions once thought too tough for ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...
