As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

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

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Regardless of the answers, the era of entanglement under infinite book‐keeping is giving way to an era of entanglement under limited books, limited clocks and limited gates. And in this more realistic ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...
