Wouldn't it be fascinating to live in New York and London at the same time? In the standard of everyday life, this is equivalent to daydreaming or sheer fantasy. Nevertheless, this is a perfectly ...

One of the most basic laws of quantum mechanics is that a system can be in more than one state -- it can exist in multiple realities -- at once. This phenomenon, known as the superposition principle, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. When I teach or give talks about relativity, one of my regular angles ...

Today (April 14) marks 2025's World Quantum Day, an international celebration held to promote public understanding of quantum science. The date, 4/14, was chosen because 4.14 represents the first ...

Practical quantum computers may be another step closer to reality – and like so many technologies, we have graphene to thank for it. The bits of information in quantum computers (qubits) can famously ...

The neutrino detector in Minnesota. Physicists have verified a central tenet of quantum mechanics—that quantum particles can occupy a so-called superposition—using neutrinos separated by 450 miles, ...
