Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that teleology is a remnant of antiquated ways of thinking about causation, and ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

Scientists advocate against the militarization of quantum research, urging transparency and ethics in defense funding for ...

Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has made a strong case for quantum science and technology to be taken seriously by developing countries including Ghana, pointing out its role in national ...
