Wiping data will cost you energy By repeating the process many times while monitoring the internal quantum state and vibrational modes of the ion, Feng and colleagues were able to confirm that ...

The Pauli Exclusion Principle — and the fact that we have the quantum numbers that we do in the Universe — is what gives each individual atom their own unique structure.

Researchers have visualized for the first time the direct effect of the Pauli exclusion principle, a fundamental feature of ...

As we celebrate 2025—the International Year of Quantum (IYQ)—we embark on a journey through the eight guiding principles that have shaped a century of quantum discovery. This series begins with ...

Werner Heisenberg discovered the uncertainty principle when he was inventing his version of quantum mechanics back in the 1920s.

This is called the principle of least action. We know it applies in our everyday world, and now—thanks to a new study —we know it applies in the quantum world as well.

For several decades, a central puzzle in quantum physics has remained unsolved: Could electrons behave like a perfect, ...

The holographic principle holds that our three-dimensional world is a representation or projection of all this activity taking place on a two-dimensional surface full of qubits. It’s always bothered ...

A DARPA program is claiming a major breakthrough in quantum computing. The Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program has created the world's first quantum circuit ...
