As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

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 ...

Atomic clocks will only see a loss of 1 second in accuracy over a period of 10 million years. They are used in multiple ways, including the GPS in your car. Now researchers have found a way to bypass ...

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 ...

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches. The US- and UK-based company Quantinuum today unveiled Helios, its third-generation ...
