Quantum teleportation has moved from science fiction into laboratory reality, but not in the way popular culture imagines.

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with those of gravity, despite a century of efforts. This theoretical ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

The answer depends on how you think about quantum gravity. If you think that the black hole destroys information irreversibly (i.e. that classical gravity “wins” over quantum mechanics), then the ...

Quantum entanglement—once dismissed by Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”—has long captured the public imagination and puzzled even seasoned scientists. But for today’s quantum ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing them into tiny targets. Particle accelerators, also known as particle ...

Key Takeaways The yin-yang photon concept highlights a particle’s dual nature, acting like both a wave and a particle, which is hard to grasp with our everyday understanding. Quantum entanglement ...

Andrea Morello receives funding from the Australian Research Council, the Australian Department of Defence, and the US Army Research Office. Quantum entanglement — once dismissed by Albert Einstein as ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
