A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

David Severn has taken a series of images of scientists working on quantum physics for King’s College London’s new Quantum ...

A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

Time may not be a fundamental element of the universe but rather an illusion emerging from quantum entanglement, a new study suggests. Time is a thorny problem for physicists; its inconsistent ...
