Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...

Physicists at the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope Initiative, KM3NeT, built a cathedral of glass spheres that listens for ...

Time feels like the most familiar thing in the world, yet it hides one of physics’ hardest questions: why do we only remember ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

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

Russian researchers have reportedly built a 72-qubit quantum computer with a three-zone design that delivers 94 percent ...
