Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

Amid high expectations for quantum technology, a new paper in Science reports a proven quantum advantage. In an experiment, ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Classical physics is characterized by the equations describing the world. Yet our day-to-day experience is struck by this deterministic vision of the world. A physicist has been analyzing the ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well.

He added that the team learned the behaviour of their system in 15 minutes. A comparable classical method would take around 20 million years. The experiment took place in the basement labs at DTU ...

Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits to tackle challenging problems in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Unlike ...

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – there’s the classical physics we’re used to on our scale, and the spooky world of quantum physics on the atomic scale.

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...
