Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness into a realm that starts to look uncomfortably like everyday matter. Instead ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

Quantum theory explains the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, like atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel ...
