Two ground-breaking advances have brought the quantum computing revolution one step closer to reality. Using state-of-the-art laser techniques, two teams of scientists have manipulated more than 50 ...

Scientists have discovered that facts and reality may be subjective to the individual observing them. This is because in quantum mechanics – which examines particles on the sub-atomic level – ...

What does quantum mechanics, the most successful theory ever proposed by physics, teach us about reality? The starting point for most philosophers of physics is that quantum mechanics must somehow ...

Some materials are so strange they seem to break the rules of reality itself. From ultra-thin graphene stronger than steel to ...

The four-page paper was so famous it became known by the initials of its authors. The EPR paradox, published by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen in 1935, argued that quantum physics ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Gearoid Hayes/Flickr, CC BY-SA Alternative facts are spreading like a virus across society. Now it seems they have even infected ...

Scientists are a step closer to creating quantum computers after making light behave like crystal. The research team made the discovery by inventing a machine that uses quantum mechanics to make ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester, in a collaboration led by ETH Zurich and including TU Wien and ICFO Barcelona, have achieved a major breakthrough by cooling the spinning motion of a ...
