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

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

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

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

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

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

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

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

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 real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

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 ...
