Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting superposition.

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

To detect radio signals using a gas, researchers first have to perform a quantum magic trick. They use a sequence of lasers ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

In a quantum world drowning in lab demos, Infleqtion is making a different bet—real hardware, real missions, real deployments ...

Don Eigler moved a single atom two decades ago. Since then, he and IBM have taken new steps in pursuing a dream of compact, power-efficient computing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...
