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, ...

How quantum physics offers a possible path to a non-chemical battery. How a team fabricated such a battery. The results of ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they can occupy several possible states at once, a phenomenon known as ...

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 ...

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 ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...
