Quantum catalysts are specialized resources that enable quantum state transformations previously thought impossible, holding ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

Two scientists just won computing's Nobel Prize for an idea from 1984: use quantum mechanics to make eavesdropping physically ...

An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking work on quantum key cryptography.

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient quantum computers can be manufactured in near future, many of the current ...

Theoretical physicists are trying to understand how the many possibilities that exist in quantum physics can become 'real.' A new model developed by UC Davis researchers suggests that there may be ...

A proposed mathematical proof that outlines the way information behaves in coded messages may have implications for black holes. The proof suggests that the radiation spit out by black holes may ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
