“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, connecting two paradigms that have long been treated separately,” says Eugen ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

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 ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

Portraits of John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis are displayed on a screen during a press conference announcing winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics at the Royal Swedish Academy ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...
