Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) aims to expand public understanding of quantum technologies, including their transformative potential. For our broad readership, could ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...
