Researchers Build Record 6,000-Qubit Quantum Machine That Works at Room Temperature
A Caltech-led team has built a 6,100-qubit neutral-atom quantum processor that operates at room temperature with a coherence time of 12.6 seconds and 99.98% fidelity. The system also supports atom shuttling and error correction steps, bringing scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing closer to reality.

Physicists Identify Loophole in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle While Preserving Its Validity
Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach, demonstrated with trapped ions, avoids breaking the principle itself while promising advances in quantum sensors, navigation systems, and precision clocks.

New Black Hole Merger Gives Clearest Test of Einstein’s Relativity
LIGO has detected GW250114, the loudest gravitational-wave signal yet, marking ten years since its first breakthrough. The event confirmed Einstein’s relativity, Hawking’s horizon theorem, and Kerr’s spinning black hole model. By capturing the merger of two 32-solar-mass black holes, scientists gained the clearest view of black hole physics, ...

New ‘Gambling Carnot Engine’ Challenges 200-Year-Old Thermodynamic Law
Almost 200 years after the Carnot limit defined the maximum efficiency of heat engines, scientists have introduced a microscopic design that seems to break the rule. Called the “Gambling Carnot Engine,” it works by monitoring a single trapped particle and stepping in at just the right instant. This clever feedback process allows the engine to c...
