Quantum radar technology is fundamentally altering the way we detect stealth planes, bringing a level of ease and efficiency ...

The Australia-based startup has successfully tested quantum-based tools that avoid the pitfalls of both GPS and traditional ...

In today’s world, quantum technology is no longer a far-off concept that is just a theoretical physics concept. In the not-too-distant future, it will become a disruptive force that has the capacity ...

The SEC’s Crypto Assets Task Force is reviewing a roadmap to protect Bitcoin, Ether and other digital assets from future quantum computing threats. A proposal submitted to the US Securities and ...

Quantum scientists in Innsbruck have taken a major leap toward building the internet of the future. Using a string of calcium ions and finely tuned lasers, they created quantum nodes capable of ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

To make some quantum computers larger, and therefore more powerful, we may have to 3D-print them. The purpose of an ion trap is right in its name: it confines ions in place and helps control their ...
