Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

MIT on Monday announced the launch of the MIT Quantum Initiative, also called QMIT. The initiative is a universitywide effort to use quantum technology to address challenges in a variety of fields ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

Emerging Trends in Quantum Computing Quantum computing is moving beyond the lab and into more practical applications.

In search of a united scientific theory, a new quantum gravity paper might have proposed an interesting aspect that made the ...

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, scientists have demonstrated time and time again how correct these theories are.

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Quantum computers based on ions or atoms have one major advantage: The qubits themselves aren’t manufactured, and there’s no device-to-device variability among atoms. Every atom is the same and should ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...
