New study reveals how quantum entanglement is transferred in ultrafast photoionisation experiments, offering us insights into how quantum information develops from microscopic to macroscopic scales ...

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 ...

For years, physicists treated an Earth-to-space quantum uplink as a beautiful idea that nature simply would not allow. Now a set of detailed models and experiments suggests that the same fragile ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

Imagine if the rules that work for ants suddenly started working for elephants too. Sounds impossible, right? But that's exactly what three American scientists John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John ...

Quantum mechanics controls reality on the smallest levels, but when scaled up, it’s often difficult to gauge how and why this realm matters in the practical world. That said, physicists will on ...
