Tech giants, major powers and top research universities are all in a race to build viable quantum systems. Why now?
Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
A new measurement of gravity at small scales hints at an alternative to billion-dollar experiments for the future of physics.
Several companies have made quantum computers, but these early models have yet to demonstrate quantum advantage: the ability to outstrip ordinary supercomputers.
Physicists uncovered a new experiment hidden in old data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using this innovative approach, the team has unlocked an entirely new way to study quantum physics.
Remember building model molecules with balls and sticks in chemistry class? You have J. Robert Oppenheimer to thank for that, as a quantum chemist explains.
Studying the brief and tiny quantum effects that drive living systems could one day lead to new approaches to treatments and technologies.
Examining microscopic quantum objects is exceedingly tricky, because their properties are connected to each other. But there could be a new method to measure them as accurately as possible.
Canada is well positioned to gain far-reaching economic and social benefits from the rapidly developing quantum industry, but it must act now to secure its success.
A cultural collaboration with deafblind people led to the development of a high-tech device to help navigate their world post-lockdown
Quantum entanglement is the stuff of sci-fi, advanced physics research and, increasingly, technology used by governments, banks and the military.
Regular matter makes up just one-sixth of all the matter in the universe. What would it mean to finally understand what makes up the rest?
Quantum leaders are curious, adaptable and tolerant of ambiguity and uncertainty.
The quantum nature of light can be harnessed for a variety of purposes.
The universe has a finite age — 13.8 billion years to be exact. So if it had a beginning, why is it so difficult to say for sure whether it will have an end?
New experiments could help scientists settle the longstanding debate about whether consciousness is generated by quantum activity.
Einstein was awarded a Nobel prize for his explanation for how light can be described as being made up of individual particles of energy under certain conditions.
If God could break the laws of physics, why haven’t we seen any evidence of the laws ever being broken in the universe?
Chinese American physicist Wu worked on the Manhattan Project and performed groundbreaking experiments throughout her long career.
