Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

A quiet shift is taking place in physics labs that could one day reshape how you send a message, store data, or protect ...

Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively ...

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Quantum computers will be able to assume highly complex tasks in the future. With superconducting quantum processors, however ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Every once in a while, a revolutionary idea comes along that has the ...
