Quantum mechanics is the study of the dynamics of particles at its most fundamental level. The state of a particle, such as its position or momentum, is described by a statistical distribution ...

We speak to Cern principal scientist Archana Sharma about pattern recognition, machine learning and quantum technology.

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage More than 300 top quantum physicists gathered ...

While the other forces — electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force — have been successfully ...
