Weird quantum effect that can turn matter invisible finally demonstrated
By Ben Turner published
The effect, called Pauli blocking, has been predicted for 30 years. Scientists just proved it for the first time.
Otherworldly 'time crystal' made inside Google quantum computer could change physics forever
By Ben Turner published
The crystals neatly sidestep some of physics' most iron-clad laws.
AI designs quantum physics experiments beyond what any human has conceived
By Anil Ananthaswamy published
Originally built to speed up calculations, a machine-learning system is now making shocking progress at the frontiers of experimental quantum physics
Largest objects ever get cooled down to their ‘quantum limit’
By Ben Turner published
The researchers hope to use their apparatus to probe why large objects do not exhibit quantum effects.
Physicists link 'quantum memories' in early step toward quantum internet
By Charlie Wood published
Two novel demonstrations bring the backbone of the quantum internet, quantum repeaters, a little closer.
What is quantum entanglement?
By Paul Sutter published
Quantum entanglement is one of the uber-bizarre phenomena seen when things get itty-bitty. Here's a look at how entanglement works and why it's so weird.
World's 1st multinode quantum network is a breakthrough for the quantum internet
By Ben Turner published
Researchers say the new network will be unhackable and able to coordinate systems to unprecedented levels. Many of the deeper implications, however, cannot be foreseen.
A student's physics project could make quantum computers twice as reliable
By Stephanie Pappas published
A remarkably simple change in the codes used to correct errors in quantum computers could half the number of destabilizing mistakes in these systems.
