Recently, scientists Edward W. Kamen from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Roger D. Kamen from Ferris State University have proposed a new theory that the human soul might actually be a type of quantum field.

how various circuits throughout the brain align their firing is an enduring mystery, one some theorists suggest might have a solution that involves quantum entanglement.

These models are very, very wrong.

DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative will work to validate the progress of quantum computer hardware development.

In the face of new evidence, physicists are starting to view the cosmos not as made up of disparate layers, but as a quantum whole linked by entanglement

A new measurement of gravity at small scales hints at an alternative to billion-dollar experiments for the future of physics.

Quantum physics is fundamentally weird, so much so that we need thought experiments of hidden cats in boxes and metaphors of spinning coins to even begin to comprehend its laws.

The universe appears to be fine-tuned for life to evolve.

The breakthrough material, a blend of aminoferrocene and graphene, has magnetic properties 100 times stronger than pure iron, eliminating the reliance on rare Earth materials for magnet construction.

Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research centers. Using lasers to accelerate electrons within a photonic nanostructure constitutes a microscopic alternative with the potential of generating significantly lower costs and making devices considerably less bulky. Until now, no substantial energy gains were demonstrated. In other words, it has not been shown that electrons really have increased in speed significantly. Two teams of laser physicists have just succeeded in demonstrating a...

To pry into the private lives of objects in the microscopic domain (and beyond), scientists often rely on extremely bright sources of light.

Quantum computers may still be years away, but it’s prudent that end-to-end encryption providers are ramping up defences

We introduce a hybrid digital signature scheme based on two building blocks: a classically-secure scheme, ECDSA, and a post-quantum secure one, Dilithium. Our hybrid scheme maintains the guarantees of each underlying building block even if the other one is broken, thus being resistant to classical and quantum attacks.

The expansion of the universe could be a mirage, a potentially controversial new study suggests. This rethinking of the cosmos also suggests solutions for the puzzles of dark energy and dark matter, which scientists believe account for around 95% of the universe's total energy and matter but remain shrouded in mystery.

A new experiment uses superconducting qubits to demonstrate that quantum mechanics violates what's called local realism by allowing two objects to behave as a single quantum system no matter how large the separation between them. The experiment wasn't the first to show that local realism isn't how the Universe works—it's not even the first to do so with qubits.

We don’t know when. We don’t know who will get there first. But Q-day will happen — and it will change the world as we know it.

Scientists were able to keep a qubit in its ideal state for twice as long as normal. Along the way, they demonstrated the practicality of quantum error correction (QEC), a process that keeps quantum information intact for longer by introducing room for redundancy and error removal.

An Austrian and Spanish team demonstrated that a process can be ‘rewound’ to restore the components of an atom to their previous state.
