Artificial intelligence is still remaking the global economy, but a second, deeper tremor is already building underneath it.

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

Overview: Ongoing research is turning quantum computing from a theoretical concept into a practical technology.Scientists are ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

Figure 1. (A) Lattice model for realising the deconfined quantum phase transition. (B) The phase diagram for the square lattice SU(N) model. Dots represent the quantum phase transition points. Red ...

Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Published in the journal Nature Communications, the ...

To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope to one day build an ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Long-range couplings between lattice sites algorithmically speed up the efficiency of quantum walks. Scientists in China ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that revealed quantum behavior in electrical circuits, showing that even systems made of ...
