A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage.

Quantum computers could enable physicists to tackle questions even the most powerful computers cannot handle.

Quantum information breaks the rules of classical information in a way that could allow us to answer questions that a classical computer cannot.

Quantum computers go beyond the binary.

After less than a year of data taking, DESI has already mapped out more galaxies than all previous 3D surveys combined — and it’s just getting started.

Inventions like the transistor and laser changed the world. What changes will the second quantum revolution bring?

Uncertainty, entanglement, spooky action: On the quantum scale, the universe doesn’t work the way you might expect.

This month, Symmetry presents a series of articles on the past, present and future of quantum research—and its many connections to particle physics, astrophysics and computing.

For years, scientists have wondered how the observed afterglow of the Big Bang relates to the distribution of galaxies in our universe. Now, thanks to a new map of dark matter, they have direct evidence that a cold region in the afterglow coincides with the lack of matter in the same patch of the sky.

Physicists are revisiting what they previously assumed about how dark matter interacts with itself.
