The truth is every American president has treated international laws with the same disdain with which an alcoholic treats his ...

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

Quantum machine learning is being actively explored to assess whether quantum resources can enhance learning and inference, yet major obstacles remain. Here, we discuss pressing challenges and outline ...

A hundred years ago, Danish physicist Niels Bohr and his student German physicist Werner Heisenberg walked through Dyrehaven and along the Øresund for hours, trying to explain the strange behaviour of ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers at the ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. You've probably heard the term "quantum computing" at some point and wondered what it meant. It's not a term that's easy to understand, and ...

Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought ...

In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka teleports a larger-than-life candy bar (and a small child) across the room into a television set. The idea of instantly transporting ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further. Quantum timekeeping comes with the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, a new study ...
