Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

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

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side effect of quantum entanglement. A new study challenges the traditional idea ...

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 ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

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

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Sai writes about healthcare, innovation and technology. Leveraging the principles of quantum physics, quantum computing can ...

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 ...
