Many governments and tech companies are investing heavily in quantum technologies. In New Zealand, the recently announced ...

"If you're using a counter, you have to define zero. You start counting at some point," physicist Marta Berholts from the University of Uppsala in Sweden, who led the team, explained to New Scientist ...

Science fiction sometimes uses quantum concepts to make the impossible seem plausible. But real-world developments will ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.
