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

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

Quantum computing might sound like the kind of sci-fi plot device used to explain how a character traveled through time or shrank to the size of an ant. But the technology is very real, and Silicon ...

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 ...

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

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

PBSC's Quantum Innovation Center in downtown West Palm Beach will be the county's latest step in making high tech part of its economy.

In the strange world of quantum physics, even the tiniest tweak can unlock outsized rewards.

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...
