The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...

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

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

As with many information security professionals, I am a proponent of the so-called “defense in depth” approach to security—using multifaceted technologies and approaches to layer defenses and minimize ...
