Scientists at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announce the development of the first 'universal' programmable quantum information processor, which uses two quantum bits (qubits) of information. According to the team behind the groundbreaking achievement, the processor can be empl... |

One of the most basic principles in quantum physics is that an object in a closed system with no observers can exist in more than one states at the same time. This was made clear in 1935 by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, who proposed his famous cat example. Now, experts are planning to perform the same se... |

Quantum physics is a remarkable field of research for new ideas and technologies that could benefit mankind, as soon as you learn how to get over the fact that just about everything in it doesn't make sense. Particles exist in two states at the same time, and they can communicate with each other over incredibly ... |

Quantum mechanics and effects were a subject of controversy when they were first proposed, a few decades ago. Now, most scientists agree with the theory, or at least acknowledge it to some extent. However, it's very difficult to prove that atoms exist in two states at the same time, seeing how one of the main de... |
