Quantum chaos used to be the kind of phrase that made experimental physicists wince, a shorthand for fragile devices going ...

Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

In December 2024, Google's Willow chip became the first quantum processor to demonstrate "below threshold" error correction. That's the holy grail physicists have chased for 30 years. The chip showed ...

Bitcoin depends on encryption to remain secure. This encryption protects transactions, wallets, and user funds. If the ...

Quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin in 2026, but attackers are already preparing. Here’s how crypto is moving toward post-quantum security, and how ready it is.

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

Laurent Simons, a 15-year-old Belgian researcher, has earned a PhD in quantum physics and says his work in ultracold systems ...

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...
