John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

Argonne National Laboratory announced it has successfully deployed and is running a 12-qubit quantum dot device built by ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...
