We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

We live in an extraordinary era, one where science and technology advance at a staggering pace. Discoveries of invisible ...

A weird thought experiment has shaken up the world of quantum physics by calling into question our assumptions about how the world works. If a coin toss cannot be both heads and tails, physicists must ...

Being a quantum pioneer is turning out to be an expensive experiment. Quantum is still years away from widespread enterprise ROI. In late 2024, a major pharmaceutical company invested $50 million in ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
