For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons.

One hundred years after its birth, quantum mechanics remains one of the most powerful and successful theories in all of ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

The pulse of an atom's magnetic heart as it ticks back and forth between quantum states has been timed in a laboratory.

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more ...

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.
