Building useful quantum technologies—from sensors to computers—requires generating highly complex entangled states, in which the properties of particles are deeply intertwined. Producing such states ...

Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers in some optimization and data processing tasks. However, quantum systems are also more sensitive to noise and thus prone to ...

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 ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

Scientists used swirling water waves to simulate a quantum effect, uncovering rotating nodal patterns that could deepen understanding of hidden quantum phenomena.

Some of the most promising tasks in which quantum computers can offer practical speedups over their classical counterparts can be found in the fields of quantum chemistry and simulation (see e.g. 3 ...

In the world of theoretical physics, some ideas solve a problem. Others reshape an entire field. Jainendra K. Jain's theory ...

Quantum entanglement can link two objects even when they are separated by extremely large distances. But a new study has found a limit at which such quantum correlations stop – and surprisingly, ...

The world of quantum video games is vast – there are hundreds that are either inspired by quantum mechanics or use quantum ...

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 ...
