Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

Google has announced a significant advancement in quantum computing as it unveiled its next-generation chip called 'Willow'. This new chip, developed at the company’s quantum lab in Santa Barbara, ...

Quantum computing has long occupied the edges of our collective imagination – frequently mentioned, rarely understood. For many, it remains a distant prospect rather than an immediate concern. But ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has made a strong case for quantum science and technology to be taken seriously by developing countries including Ghana, pointing out its role in national ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...
