Scientists think that might be the case, and are looking for a source of extra energy that could generate the magnetic field they observe.
Chinese scientists have built the world's first quantum computing machine that goes far beyond the early classical or conventional computers
Two teams built a time crystal, the first examples of a non-equilibrium form of matter.
Quantum computing has long seemed like one of those technologies that are 20 years away, and always will be. But 2017 could be the year that the field sheds its research-only image.
Whether quantum computing is 10 years away - or is already here - it promises to make current encryption methods obsolete, so enterprises need to start laying the groundwork for new encryption methods.
Scientists at the University of Sussex have invented a ground-breaking new method that puts the construction of large-scale quantum computers within reach of current technology.
Scientists have, for the first time, achieved both lasing and anti-lasing in a single device. Their findings lay the groundwork for developing a new type of integrated device with the flexibility to operate as a laser, an amplifier, a modulator, and a detector.
For the first time, scientists have observed the formation of quasiparticles - a strange phenomenon observed in certain solids - in real time, something that physicists have been struggling to do for decades.
Australian scientists have stopped light in a cloud of very cold atoms, a development that provides a essential building block for quantum computing.
China has launched the very first quantum satellite developed by a team of Chinese and Austrian scientists. The rocket took to the heavens from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in north west China.
According to a new study, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland have created the first programmable and reprogrammable quantum computer.
We are at the beginning of a revolution. Quantum computer calculates ground state of hydrogen with just two qubits.
Quantum computing has hit another milestone, US researchers say, with the development of a computer that can solve three algorithms and be reprogrammed.
CHINA is on the brink of launching a groundbreaking new satellite capable of conducting quantum experiments in space, leading some to predict it will usher in the beginning of a new space race.
Chances are you're familiar with the Schroedinger's cat paradox, whereby a hypothetical cat inside a box is both dead and alive. Now physicists at Yale University have figured out how to make a quantum cat that both lives and dies in two boxes at once.
