Super-solid found by comparing materials that can and cannot be super-solids.

Quantum computers could vastly increase the capabilities of IT systems, bringing major changes worldwide. However, there is still a long way to go before such a device can actually be constructed, because ...

The most famous unsolvable problems in computer science are exactly the kinds of problems that quantum computing can address. We look at the challenges presented by these problems in five areas of the economy to learn how they are primed for disruption.

Physicists from Skoltech have invented a new method for calculating the dynamics of large quantum systems. Underpinned by a combination of quantum and classical modeling, the method has been successfully ...

Universities’ reluctance to reveal details of such cases could undermine public trust in research, experts say

​People usually use the word quantum either theoretically (e.g., quantum physics) or metaphorically (e.g., quantum leap). But quantum computing is not speculative fiction—it's already happening and looking ahead to new data-intensive solutions for cybersecurity…

Synthesis delivers molecular cylinders that contain 240 sp2-carbon atoms

The rise of populism in disparate locations at approximately the same time follows the laws of quantum physics.

Research from North Carolina State University has demonstrated a new technique that converts carbon fibers and nanotubes into diamond fibers at ambient temperature and pressure in air using a pulsed laser ...

Researchers at the University of Vienna study the relevance of quantum reference frames for the symmetries of the world According to one of the most fundamental principles in physics, an observer o…

A new study finds observational evidence of Klein tunneling, a strange phenomenon that enables particles to pass through even the toughest barriers

For the first time ever, physicists have managed to take a photo of a strong form of quantum entanglement called Bell entanglement—capturing visual evidence of an elusive phenomenon which a baffled ...
