In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, a team from the Nägerl group, together with theory collaborator Alvise ...

How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are? In experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, physicists smash ...

Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal particles made of thousands of atoms can exist in multiple places at once. Using ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Scientists can now sculpt the quantum states of tiny particles to their liking—an odd yet mind-blowing revolution leading to some fascinating inventions. And the latest in the revolution is an odd ...

Astrid Eichhorn spends her days thinking about how the laws of physics change at the tiniest scales. Imagine zooming in closer and closer to the device on which you’re reading this article. Its ...

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...

Quantum technologies are often associated with extraordinary complexity. The states that give quantum devices their potential ...
