Australian scientists have developed what they say is the world’s first proof-of-concept quantum battery.

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

Physicists have shown that it is possible to prove principles of quantum mechanics such as the superposition principle and Born rule by running experiments on a quantum computer 1. The superposition ...

The performance of quantum computers could cap out after around 1,000 qubits, according to a new analysis published in the ...

Two scientists just won computing's Nobel Prize for an idea from 1984: use quantum mechanics to make eavesdropping physically ...

The foundations of quantum mechanics rest upon a rich tapestry of experimental discoveries and theoretical insights that revolutionised our understanding of nature at the microscopic scale. At its ...

Nation-states and malicious actors are collecting encrypted data so they can read it with future quantum computers. These ...

The rules of quantum mechanics describe how atoms and molecules act very differently from the world around us. Scientists have made progress toward teasing out these rules—essential for finding ways ...

The quantum physicists Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have been awarded the 2025 ACM Turing Award “for their essential ...

Scientists have developed a quantum battery prototype that can charge almost instantly and may enable wireless, long-distance ...

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that the position and speed of an object cannot both be known fully precisely at the same time. Researchers now show that two ...
