Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Quantum computers are shifting from lab curiosities into real machines that can already outperform classical systems on ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

Researchers have created a quantum superposition state in a semiconductor nanostructure that might serve as a basis for quantum computing. The trick: two optical laser pulses that act as a single ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Step aside, artificial intelligence. Another transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and reorder ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Quantum physics fundamentally redefines our understanding of nature by describing the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Unlike classical theories, quantum mechanics reveals that ...

The sheer pace of quantum activity from tech firms in 2025 would have been unthinkable even five years ago, says Catherine ...
