Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

A new presidential initiative called QMIT will advance the development of quantum technologies—and help ensure that they are used for good. As MIT navigates a difficult and constantly changing higher ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...
