Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

The most demanding calculations in quantum chemistry can now be solved with graphics processing unit (GPU) supercomputers. A ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been positioned as a physics-based method of securing encryption keys that cannot be ...
