A record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle ...

The researcher is reported to have left the US to take up a position at the University of Electronic Science and Technology ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

He’s turned a monkey into a waiter and made sculptures out of bees — for his next trick, Pierre Huyghe is entering the quantum realm with physicist Tommaso Calarco ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell’s test across 73 qubits, they proved the presence of genuine quantum correlations that can’t ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If there’s one law of physics that seems easy to grasp, it’s the second law of thermodynamics: Heat flows spontaneously from hotter ...
