Similar to humans going on journeys of self-discovery, quantum computers are also capable of deepening their understanding of their own foundations. Researchers from Tohoku University and St. Paul's ...

The emergence of quantum entanglement is one of the fastest processes in nature. Scientists show that using special tricks, this can be investigated on an attosecond scale. Scientists have managed to ...

To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Teleportation. Imagine instantly transporting to a remote location like moving from your home to the office with no commute whatsoever. It's technology you always see incorporated in sci-fi media, ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a quantum engine powered by entanglement—the quantum property allows for the transfer of information across vast distances. The researchers ...

Particles that don’t seem to be entangled have earned a high score on a famous test of entanglement. The experiment could offer a fresh look at what makes the quantum world so strange. Nearly 60 years ...

Quantum computers are able to solve complex calculations that would take traditional computers thousands of years in just a few minutes. What if that analytical power is turned inwards towards the ...

Quantum teleportation has moved from science fiction into laboratory reality, but not in the way popular culture imagines. Instead of beaming people or objects across space, physicists are learning ...
