Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other particles that make up the universe.

Dan Blumenthal & collaborators work to translate various functions of current cold-atom quantum experiments to a more portable and deployable form From The UCSB Current article "Chip-scale cold atom ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...

As a result of the tetrahedral symmetry of the lattice, a diamond crystal typically contains NV centers in four orientations.

A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

Matter behaves strangely at the quantum scale, where forces can bind three or more atoms even when two alone would not stay together. Purdue University researchers have now completed a massive quantum ...

Libby Heaney’s Growler (2024) is a glass sculpture that looks anything but. Despite its crystalline surface, it appears as if viscous, gummy and glutinous as it sags and drips down the side of its ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear "spin" via the ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...
