A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark's plans to develop "the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer" mark just two of the latest developments in quantum ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive ...

Quantum computing is used in intelligence, military affairs, finance, digital manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI). “Organizations take about five to ten years to cross the chasm to become ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...

Superconducting quantum design has called for specialised expertise working with mostly improvised design tools within a homegrown workflow ...
