Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...
Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

A recent line of inquiry explores how atomic systems behave when immersed in curved spacetime, particularly under the ...
Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...
