Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

UC Santa Barbara physicists have engineered entangled spin systems in diamond that surpass classical sensing limits through ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

A new fault-tolerant architecture using 448 atomic qubits suppresses errors past the critical point needed for scaling.

When we think creatively, produce novel ideas, or otherwise have “Eureka” moments, we may actually unlock access to a ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons pair up, rather than scattering apart as they do in normal conductors or in everyday ...

Raphael De Sousa (22) grew up in Cape Town, where he attended Milnerton High School and Parklands College. He graduated from ...
