Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

Atlantic Quantum has received a contract from the US Air Force to develop a quantum computer based on fluxonium qubits. The company has been given a $1.8 million Phase II STTR grant from AFWERX, the ...

MIT researchers double the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by reducing quantum noise with an innovative laser technique.

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

In a quiet lab at MIT, a group of physicists may have just resolved one of the most iconic debates in the history of science. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques that Albert Einstein and Niels ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis for their work on showing how quantum particles can mysteriously tunnel through matter, a process that ...

The outcome of quantum experiments is intrinsically unpredictable. Now physicists have combined that feature with blockchain techniques to generate random numbers in a fully transparent process for ...

For a role in quantum hardware, for example, you might need to master laser cooling techniques or gain lab experience with cryogenic systems. Software positions might involve learning Python or Matlab ...

Coupling between artificial atoms and photons processes quantum information in nanoseconds. Strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Researchers at MIT, Cambridge, Mass., say they ...
