Maryland is planning as if that timeline could be close enough to matter. Gov. Wes Moore calls quantum computing a "lighthouse industry" and has backed a ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...

BEIJING -- Chinese researchers have developed the world's first large-scale quantum key distribution (QKD) network based on integrated photonic quantum chips, according to a study published on ...

How rapidly does information spread through a quantum system? How does a quantum system forget its past? And can today’s noisy quantum computers tell us anything trustworthy about the limits of these ...

We go to sleep in one political reality and wake up in another.” Rather than hand-wringing despair, Sarkissian advises we “think clearly, calmly and strategically about how we act within [this new ...

Continuous variable (CV) quantum information processing—used in quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generation (QRNG)—relies on measuring the amplitude and phase of light waves.

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ...

A surplus of cash can mean financial stability, but it can also indicate a reluctance (or inability) to invest in growth.

For the first time, physicists have developed a model that explains the origins of unusually stable magic nuclei based ...

For centuries, physics assumed that objects follow a single, well-defined path through space. Quantum mechanics says that assumption is wrong. According to Feynman’s formulation, particles explore ...

Cooling metal bars to near absolute zero, suspending microscopic gold beads, or searching for signs that gravity might be ...
