Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...
