Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a quantum device, capable of ultra-fast operation, a key step toward ...

NEXT, the collaboration merges Intel’s manufacturing expertise with Argonne’s open-science research to advance quantum dot ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

After the applied mathematician Peter Shor, then at Bell Labs in New Jersey, showed that a quantum algorithm could, in theory ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...

Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...
