At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in single particles.

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...
