At the moment, quantum mechanics is one of those fields of science that gets scientists really excited, but that not many people outside of science have ever heard about. Kind of like Star Trek.

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such ...

Entanglement is central both to the foundations of quantum theory and, as a novel resource, to quantum information science. The theory of entanglement establishes basic laws that govern its ...

Researchers have carried out the first study in which the quantum phenomenon known as "entanglement" has been observed and characterized in a real biological system. Quantum entanglement is thought to ...

Last week, I wrote a big long post about why entanglement doesn't allow faster-than-light communication, and included a passing mention that was related somehow to the "Many-Worlds" Interpretation of ...

A research team has recently developed a novel algorithm in quantum physics known as 'entanglement microscopy' that enables visualization and mapping of this extraordinary phenomenon at a microscopic ...

Quantum entanglement is the key to quantum computing, cryptography, and numerous other real-world applications of quantum mechanics. It is also one of the strangest phenomena in the Universe, ...

No area of physics causes more confusion, not just among the general public but also among physicists, than quantum mechanics. On the one hand, it’s the source of New Age mythology, and has enabled ...
