Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

The deletion of quantum information is indeed accompanied by entropy transfer and energy loss. “This is an important confirmation that information and quantum physics are indeed intertwined in such an ...

In quantum physics, “spin” isn’t about rotation, but about the magnetic personality of particles. You can think of each one like a tiny magnet with an arrow pointing in a certain direction.
