The absolute lowest temperature possible is -273.15 degrees Celsius. It is never possible to cool any object exactly to this temperature – one can only approach absolute zero. This is the third law of ...

Certain quantum phases, such as topological order, are notoriously difficult for computers to identify. The challenge grows with the correlation length, a measure of how far the p ...

Quantum computing startup Seeqc Inc. announced today that it has created a classical computer chip that can operate at temperatures close to absolute zero, enabling it to work with quantum processors ...

The next free Wizards show is coming up in January 2024, when CU Physics Professor Paul Beale presents a program that family audiences absolutely love! CU Professor of Physics, award winning teacher ...

Physicists chilled a sugar crystals then used them to search for dark matter. This new project is called SWEET.

Most of the atomic clocks in the world - fewer than 500 in total - are housed at standards institutes and used to keep time ...

Time crystals exhibit perpetual motion-like behavior when separated from external energy input, but scientists found a way to ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...

David Reilly and his University of Sidney team developed a silicon chip that can control spin qubits at milli-kelvin temperatures. That’s just slightly above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely ...
