This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...
