Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

The quantum many body problem has been at the heart of much of theoretical and experimental physics over the past few decades. Even though we have understood the fundamental laws that govern the ...

Three researchers share this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating that quantum tunnelling could be observed in a special type of circuit. Plus, neurons can pass messages through tiny tubes ...

The gap between conventional and quantum computers is closing when it comes to simulating scrambling of quantum information Figure 1: A close-up of the trapped-ion ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis for their work on showing how quantum particles can mysteriously tunnel through matter, a process that ...

The two most chaotic forces in modern science – artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics – may be humanity’s best hope for solving our greatest challenges, writes Satyen K. Bordoloi When ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three researchers: John Clarke (UK), Michel H. Devoret (France/USA), and John M. Martinis (USA), for their work on quantum mechanics, the Swedish Academy ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results from the oscillation of its pendulum. These phenomena can be understood with ...

John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockhom, Sweden October ...
