Quantum friction represents a subtle, yet profound force emerging from the interplay of quantum vacuum fluctuations and electromagnetic interactions between bodies in relative motion. Distinguished ...

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development ...

Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.

Quantum mechanics dictates sensitivity limits in the measurements of displacement, velocity and acceleration. A recent experiment at the Niels Bohr Institute probes these limits, analyzing how quantum ...

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...

“Up to 1980 nobody expected that there exists an effect like the Quantized Hall Effect, which depends exclusively on fundamental constants and is not affected by irregularities in the semiconductor ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Quantum computing is the bleeding edge of computer science and stands to solve AI's energy consumption problem. IonQ is an early leader in the industry.

For their latest magic trick, physicists have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air. It’s a feat that seems to fly in the face of physical law and common sense. “You can’t ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...
