Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

The quantum Ising model is a standard model used to study magnetism, quantum phase transitions and emergent physics in complex systems. "In real systems, time passes smoothly, and simulating ...

but what do students think about entering the quantum workforce? In a recent study, a team of physics education researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder studied students’ perceptions of the ...

which makes single-photon sources for quantum computers. “You don’t need a PhD in physics to work at Sparrow,” Faurby declared. With the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) ...

Quantum physics gets a bad rap. The behaviour of the atoms and particles it describes is often said to be weird, and that weirdness has given rise to all manner of esoteric notions – that we ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features William Phillips, who shared the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics for ...

Their work is published in the journal Applied Physics Reviews. "Our technique isolates the 'quantum features' hidden in ordinary light, allowing us to see what's invisible to conventional cameras ...

To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope to one day build an ...
