While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A multinational team has cracked a long-standing barrier to reliable quantum computing by inventing an algorithm that lets ordinary computers faithfully mimic a fault-tolerant quantum circuit built on ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

In a first, Australian scientists turned to quantum machine learning to model semiconductor design, outperforming classical ...

His approach to quantum mechanics held unsettling implications about the meaning of death, and now he had nearly escaped its shadow. The Nazis had invaded his native Copenhagen in 1940.

Meanwhile in 2025 we celebrate 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, which lead to this powerful yet baffling computing style that can't even run Doom.

The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics says that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realised in different worlds. These many worlds have proved extremely ...

The seeds of quantum theory were sown by Albert Einstein and others as early as 1905. But the theory came together properly 100 years ago in 1925 – and has exerted its influence ever since, as ...
