Today (April 14) marks 2025's World Quantum Day, an international celebration held to promote public understanding of quantum science. The date, 4/14, was chosen because 4.14 represents the first ...

In the world of quantum physics, another record appears to have just been broken. In a paper listed on the preprint site ArXiv, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China claim ...

A sapphire crystal weighing 16 micrograms is the largest object ever to exist in a quantum-mechanical superposition of two vibrational states. Researchers at the Hybrid Quantum Systems Group at the ...

An optical lattice traps groups of atoms (blue disks) in a regular array so that they can be studied for more than a minute inside a lattice atom interferometer. Individual atoms (blue dots) are ...

Quantum effects have been demonstrated on one of the largest scales ever, pushing the boundaries of the quantum world. A crystal of 10^16 atoms has been placed in a superposition of two quantum states ...

Quantum advantage is the milestone the field of quantum computing is fervently working toward, where a quantum computer can solve problems that are beyond the reach of the most powerful non-quantum, ...

Quantum superposition is a phenomenon in which a tiny particle can be in two states at the same time — but only if it is not being directly observed. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
