Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass, and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For years, physicists have been trying to design clocks that can measure tiny durations of time with extreme precision. Quantum ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Quantum computing in 2026 still isn't a faster laptop. It doesn't make email snappier, and it won't speed up spreadsheets.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.
