For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging ...

As we celebrate 2025—the International Year of Quantum (IYQ)—we embark on a journey through the eight guiding principles that have shaped a century of quantum discovery. This series begins with ...

Researchers have visualized for the first time the direct effect of the Pauli exclusion principle, a fundamental feature of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Take a look around you at everything on Earth. If you were to ...

Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe. But we try with this principle. Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe beyond a certain level of precision. But that doesn’t ...

A DARPA program is claiming a major breakthrough in quantum computing. The Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program has created the world's first quantum circuit with ...
