Physicists are quietly advancing a radical idea: time might not be a single, thin line but a full three‑dimensional landscape ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

In a statement, Nord Quantique representatives described the new architecture as "a first in applied physics" and a practical route toward scalable, utility-grade quantum machines. The breakthrough ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...
