Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

“Second sound is the hallmark of superfluidity, but in ultracold gases so far you could only see it in this faint reflection ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

Why it matters: Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that stump even the most advanced supercomputers. Getting there is a different story, though. One of the biggest hurdles is efficiently ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...
