In the early 1920s, physicists were first working out the mysteries of the quantum Universe. Particles sometimes behaved as waves, with indeterminate positions, momenta, energies, and other properties ...

In Rydberg atoms, at least one electron is excited to a state with a high principal quantum number. In an ultracold environment, this low-energy electron can scatter off a ground state atom allowing ...

Understanding the structure of correlations within our current description of nature, based on quantum physics, is a fundamental open problem. In particular, one would like to characterize the set of ...

The algorithms could also benefit AI by generating large, diverse datasets to train models or by enabling quantum-enhanced ...

Researchers have proven that a fundamental law of physics applies in the quantum realm. The principle of least action dictates that objects will (unless interfered with) always move along the route ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Take a look around you at everything on Earth. If you were to ...

A DARPA program is claiming a major breakthrough in quantum computing. The Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program has created the world's first quantum circuit with ...
