In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in an optical clock. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, a ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery ...

PBSC's Quantum Innovation Center in downtown West Palm Beach will be the county's latest step in making high tech part of its ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by thousands of atoms. Quantum physics defines particles in terms of waves, ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

A proposed update to a federal security policy on government-funded research could shut out non-US associates from the federal lab after March ...

Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which particles do not follow single, predictable paths but instead exist as clouds ...
