Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum interference—a wavelike interaction between particles related to the weird quantum phenomenon of entanglement—occurring between two different kinds ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Guangjie Li, graduate student, and Dr. Jukka Vayrynen, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, discuss calculations at the Purdue University Physics Building. Long before Dr. Jukka Vayrynen was ...

Beyond artificial intelligence (AI), another transformative technology that could reshape industries and reorder geopolitical power is finally moving out of the lab: quantum.

Recently, Professor Jianda Wu’s research team from the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with Professor Jie Ma from the School of Physics and Astronomy and ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider ...
