Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Artificial intelligence is still remaking the global economy, but a second, deeper tremor is already building underneath it.

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) aims to expand public understanding of quantum technologies, including their transformative potential. For our broad readership, could ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Scientists at the University of Würzburg and the German national metrology institute (PTB) have carried out an experiment that realizes a new kind of quantum standard of resistance. It's based on the ...

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 ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...
