Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...

Bridging the gap between quantum technologies and fundamental sciences opens pathways for groundbreaking innovations in both domains. In high-energy ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

Researchers have been working for decades to understand the architecture of the subatomic world. One of the knottier ...

Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory that describes the strong interaction, one of the four fundamental forces in nature, which governs the behavior of quarks and gluons—the building ...

I recently read a feature interview in Quanta Magazine of physicist Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University who studies the formation of protons and neutrons ...

Quantum entanglement discovered inside protons for the first time Quarks and gluons shown to share information in entangled states Entropy measurements confirm ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...
