Physicists in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford have used a hybrid quantum computer, made up of qubits and quantum oscillators, to observe the Aharonov–Bohm effect in a quantum ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

A balance that prevents collapse Lead author and Monash Ph.D. candidate Sam Foster from the School of Physics and Astronomy said the work opens the door to exploring entirely new quantum states.

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

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, ...

A quantum squeezing method can enhance interactions between quantum systems, even in the absence of precise knowledge of the system parameters. Figure 1: Photograph of the ion trap used to perform ...

Mimicking atoms. Pioneering experiments in the mid-1980s showed tunneling and other quantum behaviors in superconducting circuits. This work, which has just been honored with the 2025 Nobel Prize in ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers — supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than conventional bits — has been hampered by ...
