A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Over the past decades, quantum physicists and engineers have developed numerous technologies that harness the principles of quantum mechanics to push the boundaries of classical information science.

It’s not easy to study quantum systems — collections of particles that follow the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a cornerstone of quantum theory, says ...

Quantum teleportation is a fascinating process that involves transferring a particle's quantum state to another distant location, without moving or detecting the particle itself. This process could be ...

Physicists have used Doppler-shifted nuclear resonant absorbers to form a nuclear frequency comb, enabling a quantum memory in the notoriously difficult X-ray range. Light is an excellent carrier of ...

A new technique in quantum storage that operates at room temperature could pave the way for a quantum internet. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. It’s not easy to study quantum systems—collections of particles that follow the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics.

A rudimentary quantum debit card that can be loaded with unforgeable quantum money has been made from extremely cold atoms and particles of light. In this protocol, a bank issues banknotes made of ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...
