For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

In a study by TU Wien and FU Berlin, researchers have measured what happens when quantum physical information is lost. This clarifies important connections between thermodynamics, information theory ...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden ‒ U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way ...

Prize awarded for developing 'next generation of quantum technology' 'I'm completely stunned,' says UC Berkeley professor Quantum technology ubiquitous in everyday electronics Physics is second prize ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

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 ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...
