Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry ...

A modular quantum processor design shows ~99% fidelity. It paves the way for scalable quantum computing. What do children’s ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

UC Irvine scientists identified a novel quantum state with potential for energy-efficient devices. Its radiation resistance ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has successfully demonstrated the experimental creation of collective quantum ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...

Tech giants such as Meta, Microsoft, and Apple have launched a series of small models, including Llama-3, Phi-3, and OpenELM, attracting widespread attention due to their compact size and efficient ...
