Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...

Scientists have created a new way to generate powerful quantum interactions, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, ...

Quantum entanglement can link two objects even when they are separated by extremely large distances. But a new study has found a limit at which such quantum correlations stop – and surprisingly, ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

Trapped atom experiment shows that quantum motion could power faster and more powerful computers of the future.

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 ...
