While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

Making quantum computers fault-tolerant (and scaling effective error correction to enable this) is a key barrier to a new era of quantum supremacy. A new study ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

Scientists use light to change matter’s magnetic nature at room temperature, revealing quantum effects once thought impossible.

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 ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.
