Quantum Physics

Google’s new chip, Willow, has achieved the exponential suppression of errors. The advance is substantial, but Willow remains far from delivering on any practical applications

The multiverse offers no escape from our reality—which might be a very good thing

Physicists have detected a long-sought particle process that may suggest new forces and particles exist in the universe

Physicists showed that photons can seem to exit a material before entering it, revealing observational evidence of negative time

Physicists report the first observations of quantum entanglement in top and anti-top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles and their antimatter counterparts, inside the Large Hadron Collider

Entanglement lets researchers watch plants in action without disruptive visible light

The spin of a particle seems to detach and move without a body—a strange experimental observation that’s stirring up debate

Proposed experiments will search for signs that spacetime is quantum and can exist in a superposition of multiple shapes at once

From lifesaving cancer treatments and frog “spas” to a view of the cosmos from your own backyard, science can keep you going through the long, hot days of summer

Outcomes in quantum mechanics depend on observations. But must the observer be human?

Mathematicians picked the most dazzling, thought-provoking and compelling equations they know

Molecular Bose-Einstein condensates could help to provide the answers to fundamental questions or form the basis of new quantum computers
