And then it got me.” A handful of decades and an MIT physics doctorate later, Tan is the chief science officer (CSO) of ...

There’s only a few days left in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, but we’re still finding plenty to celebrate here at Physics World HQ thanks to a long list of groundbreaking ...

Abstract: The wave functions and permitted energy levels of quantum systems, which characterize the probability distributions and particle behaviors, are able to be determined via the time-independent ...

Magnetism and superconductivity are similar in that both arise from electron behavior. In magnetism, a synchronized spin creates a pull, while in a superconductor, electrons form “Cooper pairs,” which ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

This quantum computing stock is up triple-digit percentage points in 2025, but it could keep climbing in 2026. Strong sales momentum is pushing the stock higher, as it attracts dozens of new customers ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it, but scientists have always ...

Google parent Alphabet is making waves with its new quantum computing processor. Intel's long-term comeback partially hinges on quantum computing. IBM's strength in supercomputing could help make it a ...

Providence, R.I. — Thirty years ago, Claudio Neves Valente and Nuno F.G. Loureiro were classmates with bright futures. Both excelled in physics and made their way from their home country of Portugal ...

As Nuno F.G. Loureiro’s colleagues mourn his shocking death at the hands of a former classmate, many are reflecting on the MIT physics professor’s legacy of scientific contributions and leadership.
