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 ...

Google says its quantum computer achieved a verifiable calculation that classic computers cannot. The work could point to future applications.

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 the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

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 ...

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 ...
