Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

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 ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...
