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 ...

Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of ...

Quantum physics describes matter and light in terms of discrete quanta and inherently probabilistic rules that depart from classical intuition. At its heart lie wave–particle duality—entities such as ...

RIT is part of an NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute award for a large-scale interdisciplinary research project on quantum ...

NY Creates, the entity that operates Albany NanoTech, is part of a Princeton-led quantum computing consortium awarded $27.9 ...

Scientists could have a new way to explore the hidden behavior of matter, thanks to research involving Queen Mary University ...

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

Greg Engel and Julian Solway are building a new field to deliver cutting-edge patient care that requires a level of precision most patients won’t need to understand—and that’s just fine. “Think of an ...

A centimeter-sized crystal has revealed clear signs of quantum entanglement, showing that large, everyday objects can display surprisingly deep quantum behavior. The discovery could help solve the ...

Ahead of the Season 2 premiere, the writer, a physicist by training, asked around. The answer? It’s complicated.

Catholic physicist and professor Vincenzo Tamma explains how quantum mechanics reveals the intelligibility of nature, points beyond itself to the Creator, and opens new paths for an interdisciplinary ...
