The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of interaction and communication. Around one hundred publications on the topic are ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight.

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...

Researchers have developed an experimental method for determining whether the functions performed by a quantum computer are the result of quantum mechanics — or just a clever twist on classical ...

As quantum computing is attracting unprecedented investment, with $3 billion flowing into the sector in just the first half of September through major venture deals and public markets, critical ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI have used their Willow quantum computer to help interpret data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a mainstay of chemistry and biology research. The ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Google CEO Sundar Pichai has congratulated three physicists with deep ties to the company’s Quantum AI program—John Martinis, Michel Devoret, and John Clarke—after they were ...

Quantum computers are still in their infancy. Presently limited to 100 or so error-prone qubits, the quantum equivalents to classical bits, they are far from supreme calculating machines that are ...

Google has taken a decisive step towards practical quantum computers. A research team from Google Quantum AI has reported the first “verifiable quantum advantage”—in other words, a measurable ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...
