An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

CERN scientists have analyzed a particle of antimatter isolated in an undecided quantum state known as a superposition for the first time. While the quantum behavior of ordinary matter has been ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

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 ...

Engineers at Toshiba and MIRISE report embedding a quantum-inspired optimization system directly onto a mobile robot, ...

Quantonation Ventures, a venture firm investing in quantum and physics-based startups, has closed its oversubscribed second ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...
