The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing. John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John ...

Perfect randomness sounds simple, until you try to make it. A die can be polished, balanced and rolled thousands of times. Yet, one face may still land up a little more often than the others. In daily ...

Noisy IBM quantum computers can produce random numbers certified by the laws of quantum mechanics 1, research has shown. Conventional random number generators rely on predictable mathematical ...

Researchers unveiled a new technique that validates quantum computer results—especially those from GBS devices—in minutes instead of millennia. Their findings expose unexpected errors in a landmark ...

Three physicists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating quantum physics at the macroscopic scale. The research, including into the bizarre phenomena of quantum tunnelling ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a means of generating "perfect randomness" by using entangled superconducting qubits. Creating true randomness is extremely difficult. Even the most ...
