Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions about how electrons ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

Rigetti achieved 99.5% 2-qubit gate fidelity, making meaningful progress toward the 99.9% threshold needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing. With $575 million in cash, Rigetti has the runway to ...
