Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ...

Reliably quantifying and characterizing the quantum states of various systems is highly advantageous for both quantum physics ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

Researchers have uncovered clear evidence of exotic quantum excitations inside a rare 3D spin liquid, validating decades of ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

Creating revolutionary pharmaceutical drugs, testing new materials for cars and simulating how market scenarios can affect banks — these are just some of the tasks that could take months or years to ...
