One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits could simultaneously store more information than the number of particles in the ...

Michio Kaku is a prominent American theoretical physicist known for his work in string theory ... Kaku began a research career focused on quantum mechanics and string theory. Between 1970 and 2000, he ...

For almost a century, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle's position and momentum cannot be known at the same time with absolute ...

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

Tingrei Tan receives funding from Australian Research Council, US Office of Naval Research, US Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Wellcome Leap. Christophe Valahu receives funding from ...

To alumnus Gal Weitz (EngrPhys, ApMath’22), Boulder was a “dream destination” for undergrad. Now working in quantitative finance, Weitz shares how his education at CU Boulder set him up for success in ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results from the oscillation of its pendulum. These phenomena can be understood with ...

For all the hype surrounding quantum computers, the technology can sometimes appear to be a solution in search of a problem. Scientifically impressive, but not yet obviously useful in the real world.

Credit: Science (2025). DOI: 10.1126/science.ady4652 The researchers set out to find a particle that could be used as a platform to investigate quantum phenomena at the nanoscale. They used a ...

Theoretical physicists develop mathematical models to describe material systems, which they can then use to make predictions about how materials will behave. One of the most important models is the ...

UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created 'quantum entangled states'—where two separate particles become so deeply linked they no longer behave ...
