In a variety of technological applications related to chemical energy generation and storage, atoms and molecules diffuse and ...

Silicon spin qubits could soon help unlock the next stage of quantum computing. For decades, scientists have tried to harness the power of quantum mechanics to perform calculations beyond the reach of ...

This theory aims to resolve the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics. The researchers use a symmetry close to that of the standard model, rather than that of general ...

which are quantum mechanics, so that you can have what's called a qubit, replacing the basic unit of information in class computers a bit. It's a zero or one. A qubit, on the other hand ...

That is, until now. In a groundbreaking scientific experiment, a team at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of ...

A mysterious vibrational state in carbyne baffled scientists—until now. AI-powered models showed it behaves like a tiny, ...

In contrast, thanks to core principles of quantum mechanics – superposition – quantum computers can generate truly random numbers. Superposition shows that a quantum bit can exist in multiple states ...

Meanwhile in 2025 we celebrate 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, which lead to this powerful yet baffling computing style that can't even run Doom. Still, AI is widely ...

That’s because quantum mechanics dictates that such an observation would indelibly change the state of what is being observed. The BB84 protocol is foolproof, but in practice it is very difficult to ...
