Quantum physics just pulled off a rewind trick that sounds like sci-fi. Here’s what the experiment actually did—and why it ...
WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.
A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...
The operation of quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, relies on the ...
In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in controlled lab simulations. This finding challenges our current understanding of ...
Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...
An exotic phase of matter has been realized on a quantum processor. Matter can exist in different forms, or phases, such as liquid water or solid ice. These phases are usually understood under ...
When we observe the world at our scale, everything seems to obey predictable laws, those of classical physics. But when ...
A new study details how UNSW engineers created 'quantum entangled states' between two phosphorus atoms in silicon.
The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
A century ago, a group of scientists in Europe began developing a theory to explain how the world’s smallest particles interact. Their discoveries underpinned a new branch of physics and laid the ...
