The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Keeping perfect time is far trickier than it sounds. The world’s best clocks that ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

Scientists do not know what dark matter is made of but they believe it leaves signals, and those signals could be captured by quantum devices.
