Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can ...

By adjusting a simple chemical ratio, scientists discovered a new way to control exotic quantum states that could underpin the next generation of quantum computers.

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Discover the Python and NumPy concepts that are easy to forget but essential for quantum physics calculations. This tutorial highlights key functions, array manipulations, and numerical techniques ...

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful ...

While usual gapless points that are not geometrically defective i.e. Dirac points (Left column) possess only eigenvalues within [0, 1] (Bottom Left), defective exceptional points (Right column) also ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...
