Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have brought together two Nobel prize-winning research concepts to advance the field of quantum communication.

There’s no denying AI is shaping the future of education. Instead of the traditional one-size-fits-all academic approach, AI offers a more real-time, personalized way of explaining concepts. Models ...

A new study published on arXiv suggests that quantum physics could provide astronomers with a new method to search for ...

During the 2024-25 school year, students in Southern Adventist University’s physics club taught lessons about the basics of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QUIST) at three local schools.

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

To predict when we’ll have a truly useful quantum computer, we need to know precisely what one is. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that’s harder to pin down than you might think ...

In the 1920s, when quantum mechanics was young, physicists Jane Dewey and Laura Chalk performed some of the first experimental tests of the theory, based on a phenomenon called the Stark effect. Later ...

This idea feels almost impossible from the perspective of everyday life, yet it lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. Today, scientists like me are learning how to harness these strange quantum ...
