A new presidential initiative called QMIT will advance the development of quantum technologies—and help ensure that they are ...

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

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these ...
