Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these ...

Why it matters: Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that stump even the most advanced supercomputers. Getting there is a different story, though. One of the biggest hurdles is efficiently ...
