Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Quantum computing holds promise for complex financial modelling, but current technology is limited by noise and qubit count, with practical applications still years away, despite theoretical speed-ups ...

Duplicating the information held in quantum computers was thought to be impossible thanks to the no-cloning theorem, but researchers have now found a workaround ...

This year marks the centenary of Bose statistics, physicist Satyendra Nath Bose's groundbreaking work that described elementary quantum particles, and eventually led to ‘Bose-Einstein statistics’ — a ...

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot questions in quantum theory. Reading time 4 minutes In July 1925—exactly a ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...
