Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

A study published in Nature Physics Jan. 14, co-led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si, brings together quantum criticality, ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...
