Oxford physicists have created an unconventional class of quantum superpositions from highly nonclassical states.

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

Three Pillars of Quantum Physics To grasp the scope of this question, we should first examine three generally accepted principles of quantum physics. When taken together, I argue that these principles ...

Nobel Committee member Göran Johansson explains elements of quantum mechanics during a press conference to announce the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics on October 7 in Stockholm. Christine ...

Physics is considered a cold, hard science – but it will transform your life if you view it with a bit more subjectivity, ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...
