The Latest Breaking News on Physics

Rosatom at the Forum for Future Technologies in Moscow, Russia showcased what it says is a working, 16-qubit quantum computer based on trapped ions. It seems that Russia isn't as far behind the quantum times as some might have hoped.

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have managed to entangle a record 51 qubits. More importantly, the qubits weren't just entangled in pairs, but as a single system, a required step on the road to more useful quantum computing.

IBM has announced that it has unlocked practical utility out of today's NISQ-era quantum computers - showing how a pairing of quantum and standard computing is required for reliable, consistent, truthful - and thus useful - results.

An exotic, ultracold state of matter on Earth is helping scientists study the behavior of "fuzzy" dark matter.

By shining a strong beam of light through two chemical compounds, scientists discovered a unique new state of matter made of particles called excitons.

There’s some potentially big news on the hunt for dark matter. Astronomers may have a handle on what makes this mysterious cosmic stuff: strange particles called “axions.”

A new experiment by IBM computers shows that quantum computers could soon outperform classical digital computers at practical tasks in the next two years.

Can we build a quantum computer whose information unit is, colloquially speaking, sound? According to a paper published in Science this month, it should be possible. The problem is that researchers can manipulate electrons using electric currents, magnetic fields, etc., and they can manipulate photons with mirrors, lenses, etc. –…

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider are closing in on an explanation for why we live in a universe of matter and not antimatter.
