Microsoft has developed the world’s first quantum computing chip called Majorana 1. The company says quantum computers are now just years away, not decades.

Sustained investments can deliver quantum devices that handle more information, more rapidly and more securely than can ...

Supersolids are a unique phase of matter that combine the friction ... forming what is called a Bose–Einstein condensate — a superfluid state in which a large fraction of particles ...

This state of matter was proposed in the 1960s, but only in the last decade did this move from a theoretical possibility to a ...

This was achieved by using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a peculiar quantum state of matter that allows light to be slowed or even stopped entirely. This discovery, which builds on decades of ...

Physicists have transformed laser light into a supersolid, marking an entirely new process for achieving this mysterious ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of ...

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves ...

Microsoft says its researchers have created a new quantum computer processor that relies on a never-before-seen state of matter ... Last December, for example, Google unveiled an experimental ...
