To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope to one day build an ...

The challenge of quantum gravity For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity.

Ask almost any physicist what the most frustrating problem is in modern-day physics, and they will likely say the discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics. That discrepancy has ...

Physicists continue to argue over Microsoft’s qubit claims. The entire field hangs in a delicate balance.

Jensen Huang caused quantum computing stocks to crash after saying he believed quantum technology wouldn’t be very useful for ...
