Technique lays the groundwork for neutral-atom quantum computers with more than 100 000 qubits, say physicists ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

A gold sphere levitates over a semiconductor with an electrical bias. In new research, engineers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that biased semiconductors can control the Casimir ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Air combat is racing toward a tipping point where speed, data and exotic physics matter more than radar cross section alone. Seventh generation fighters, hypersonic strike weapons and quantum-enabled ...

Montana State's QCORE quantum center has received a $31.5 million Air Force grant, making it one of seven global institutions ...

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 ...
