In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, predictable and solid, with clear laws. But Father Roger Joseph Boscovich (Ruđer ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Adolf Hitler died ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Full acquisition of QPerfect: BTQ has exercised its option to acquire QPerfect, a leading neutral atom quantum computing company, based at the heart of the European Center for Quantum Science (CESQ) ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

Hub for quantum advances grows as additional companies move in The Colorado Quantum Incubator (COQI)—a CU Boulder-led hub for advancing quantum lab-to-market technology translation, research, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...
