Researchers have discovered a new way to tune the quantum properties of tiny defects in diamond—by gently stretching or ...

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: ...

We think of it as rigid, smooth, and unidirectional – the arrow of time flies straight and true, and all we can do is go ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

World Quantum Day 2026, which takes place on April 14, is a global celebration all about recognizing how quantum science and ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Physicists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are now testing quantum simulations of these so-called strong-field QED (SFQED) processes, recently translating several processes into the ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

World Quantum Day highlights the science behind technologies that already power your life and those that could reshape it ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

ISC2 released a 30-minute primer on the cybersecurity implications of quantum computing. If you want to dig deeper, there are ...
