As we step into the quantum age, here are four things to know about quantum networks.

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.

Scientists are exploring a variety of ways to make quantum bits. We may not need to settle on a single one.

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.

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.

From Blog Sicilia (Italy), December 15, 2021: From Marsala to Chicago, a young Sicilian among the most important scientists in the world. Fermilab’s Anna Grassellino is a researcher from Marsala chosen by the DOE to lead a project that will build the quantum computer: a revolutionary machine that will lead to a new era of research. In Chicago, she is among the most important scientists in the world.
