Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are getting ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

Kai Bongs is director of the Institute of Quantum Technologies at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Ulm, Germany, a professor at the University of Ulm, Germany, and at the University of Birmingham, ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Imagine a physicist observing a quantum system whose behavior is akin to a coin toss: it could come up heads or tails. They perform the quantum coin toss and see heads. Could they be certain that ...
