Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

A new study found that Europe has a strong quantum ecosystem (with many strong companies with a sole focus on quantum ...

Regardless of the answers, the era of entanglement under infinite book‐keeping is giving way to an era of entanglement under limited books, limited clocks and limited gates. And in this more realistic ...

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...
