The scientific Nobels announced this week — in Physiology or Medicine, Physics and Chemistry — honored achievements rooted in fundamental research from decades ago.

The peace prize—which President Donald Trump has openly lobbied for—will be announced Friday. Here's who has won so far.

Californian John Martinis won a Nobel Prize for physics work he did decades ago. Today, he's on a quest to create the fastest quantum computers in existence.

The neutral-atom platform appears promising for scaling up quantum computers. To solve some of the toughest challenges in physics, chemistry, and other fields, quantum computers will eventually need ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis have been awarded the Physics Nobel Prize for their work on quantum mechanics. Here's what you need to know.

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run.

Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation promises to allow researchers to solve problems in areas from chemistry to ...

That circuit was a superconducting device called a Josephson junction and their work in the 1980s led to the development of some of today’s most promising technologies for quantum computers.
