Max Planck is widely recognized as the father of quantum theory for his groundbreaking work on energy quanta. His initial ...

Quantum sensors built in nanometer thin boron nitride sheets endure extreme pressure, enabling precise measurements of stress ...

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

Most people think of gravity as a simple pull—but Einstein proved it’s the bending of spacetime itself. And quantum physics ...

In everyday life, all matter exists in one of three states: gas, liquid, or solid. However, in quantum physics, two different ...

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

Physicists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology were, for the first ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

For more than a century, scientists have relied on separate tools to measure the three core building blocks of electricity: ...

Researchers have unveiled a new quantum material that could make quantum computers much more stable by using magnetism to protect delicate qubits from environmental disturbances. Unlike traditional ...
