Experiment With Chinese Satellite Demonstrates Quantum Weirdness Over Record Distances
Don’t expect this sort of stuff to have any influence on your life just yet—but in the future, it could have some important quantum computing applications.

It's a proof of concept and probably won’t appear in your portable hard disk any time soon, but could have important applications for the future of computing.
The time crystal’s silly science fiction name shrouds its deep quantum mechanical nuance.
Carlo Rovelli’s Seven Brief Lessons on Physics delivers a sweeping presentation of the great ideas and discoveries of 20th century physics, aimed at readers with no scientific background whatsoever. It’s a joy to read.
Entanglement is quantum mechanical mind-bender that is being understood better than ever before.
"When we can no longer take space for granted, we have to explain what it is and how it arises, either on its own or in union with time."
If you want to hear something very quiet, you need to reduce the ambient volume of your surroundings. For quantum physicists, though, that meant creating the world’s quietest gas.
Researchers at Aarhus University believe the secret to creating a quantum computer lies in understanding human cognition. So, they've built games to study us first.
A purportedly groundbreaking image of light showing of dual qualities might not be exactly as it seemed.
For the first time in history, a theory of what doesn't exist is successfully predicting what does.
Nothing travels faster than light in a vacuum, obviously. And while scientists knew that quantum particles interact with one another at a slower speed, they had trouble measuring the speed at which that happens. Until now, that is.
