Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

You’re late for an important appointment. Just as you are leaving your house, you realise your phone is flat. Imagine you could charge it almost instantly by exploiting the strange rules of quantum ...

This is significant when it comes to the future development of quantum sensors, which, together with quantum computers, constitute the most promising applications of quantum research. The team's work ...

Nobel Committee member Göran Johansson explains elements of quantum mechanics during a press conference to announce the winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics on October 7 in Stockholm. Christine ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

The world of quantum physics is a very different world from the day-to-day reality we experience. In the quantum world, interactions across vast distances can occur, non-local interactions. Some ...
