For decades, quantum mechanics (QM) has been synonymous with something “strange,” “magical,” or fundamentally ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

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

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.

Building a working quantum internet would require overcoming a host of technical challenges, but researchers who have built ...
