Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

Quantum theory – our best understanding of the world at the smallest level – is famously weird and notoriously confusing. It’s a theory that seems to say particles can be in two places at once, or ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...

The head of global investment research at Coinbase says that quantum computing poses significant risks to Bitcoin's security.

Long-term threats to Bitcoin’s security are creeping up faster than markets expect, analyst warns. About one-third of all Bitcoin “appears vulnerable to long-range quantum attacks.” BlackRock also ...
