Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard, winners of this year’s Turing Award, spent their lives touting the advantages of the ...

For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that evolve with time. What role did this equation play inthe so-called ...

In honor of Einstein's birthday, we're revisiting a 2013 conversation with physicist and author A. Douglas Stone about ...

Researchers at the University of Central Florida have demonstrated a method for generating scalable quantum entanglement on ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic textbook systems into deep conceptual traps. That long stalemate is now ...

Leggett later switched to theoretical condensed-matter physics, and rapidly made the subject of macroscopic quantum phenomena his own. Only eight years after his PhD, he created a remarkably intuitive ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...
