A researcher at Kyushu University and his collaborators have shown that continuous parameters in quantum gravity may not be ...

In the context of quantum physics, the term "duality" refers to transformations that link apparently distinct physical theories, often unveiling hidden symmetries. Some recent studies have been aimed ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

The quantum zeno effect, also known as Turing’s paradox, is a feature of quantum mechanical systems that allows the time evolution of a particle to be slowed down by measuring it frequently enough ...

Quantum memories, systems that store and retrieve information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, can outperform classical storage systems on some existing tasks. Yet these promising memories could ...

As quantum technologies attract more and more funding, Christophe Couteau and Snežana Lazić argue for a clear and accessible definition of the label ‘quantum’. This would help public and private ...
