Science fiction sometimes uses quantum concepts to make the impossible seem plausible. But real-world developments will likely have profound societal implications.
New Zealand trails far behind other wealthy countries in research funding and strategy. This inhibits the innovation that could drive a more productive economy.
New Zealand has a strong legacy in quantum physics. But to turn this into a thriving commercial sector will require investment in training and retaining top talent.
Studying the brief and tiny quantum effects that drive living systems could one day lead to new approaches to treatments and technologies.
Canada is well positioned to gain far-reaching economic and social benefits from the rapidly developing quantum industry, but it must act now to secure its success.
China and the US are racing for quantum technology breakthroughs in weapons, communications, sensing, and computing that could tilt the balance between the world’s military forces.
A quantum technology boom is coming, and Australia must act to avoid missing out. A new CSIRO roadmap plots a course for this new industry.
Things get weird at the quantum level and now we know they can happen really fast when a particle pushes through an almost insurmountable barrier.
We usually think of quantum entanglement in the realm of atomic systems, but now it’s been scaled up to relatively massive objects. This opens the door to new kinds of technology.
A future that continues to have increasingly fast computing depends on quantum physics – but research is showing that there are limits to how fast quantum computers can go.
As companies make quantum computers available through their cloud services, take a look at what it means for computing to move beyond classical mechanics and into quantum physics.
China’s conventional military assets are intimidating enough, but its latest technological advances could transform the military balance in its neighbourhood.
The Micius satellite will encrypt data using fundamental laws of physics rather than crackable codes.
The past year has provided some of the most interesting developments in quantum mechanics to date. The field is more than 100 years old and has been tested to unimaginable precision, yet some of its most…
Over the next five years, the UK government will spend £270m on supporting research in “quantum technology”. When budget announcements were made in 2013, provisions for offshore wind and shale gas extraction…
