In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the ...

Scientists propose a groundbreaking experiment using quantum computers and atomic clocks to test whether gravity alters the ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

According to quantum mechanics, unless the atom is directly observed, it must be considered to be in a superposition—that is, being in multiple states at the same time—of decayed and not decayed.

A new experiment involving a network of entangled atomic clocks could finally help us test how quantum mechanics fits with ...

And now we feel like maybe we have to unify quantum mechanics and gravitational forces, but other than that it’s kind of done. That might very well not be correct. That’s a bit too naïve.

According to quantum mechanics, unless the atom is directly observed, it must be considered to be in a superposition – that is, being in multiple states at the same time – of decayed and not ...

Atom Computing, the startup with which Microsoft has partnered on the new quantum computer, is backed by more than $100 million in funding. It will supply qubits and related technologies for the ...

These can be in superposition, a phenomenon made famous by the quantum cat experiment, where a cat in a box with a quantum-activated poison is both dead and alive according to quantum mechanics.

A partnership between Microsoft and Atom Computing has leveraged high-performance computing to successfully process 24 logical qubits, or quantum bits, marking a milestone in the quest to bring ...
