Taking quantum circuits from a vague academic notion to the factory floor in just over 40 years might sound daunting — even impossible. But as Yale physicist Robert Schoelkopf explains, it all came ...

Greg Engel and Julian Solway are building a new field to deliver cutting-edge patient care that requires a level of precision most patients won’t need to understand—and that’s just fine. “Think of an ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

There’s only a few days left in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, but we’re still finding plenty to celebrate here at Physics World HQ thanks to a long list of groundbreaking ...

Chiba, Japan, January 12, 2026—A team at Japan’s National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has published a field-defining Perspective that places the societal payoff of quantum ...

This year, quantum science and computing came up a lot. There have been broad claims that quantum science and engineering could one day help cure diseases, design new materials, optimize supply chains ...

We may never beam ourselves off the planet. But quantum teleportation is poised to bring about a new era of computing—and revolutionize our understanding of the subatomic world. This composite photo ...

Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This collective phenomenon, called superradiance, is a powerful example of ...
