Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have identified a precise sweet spot where quantum reservoir computing, a machine learning approach that treats quantum systems as computational engines, reaches ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a superconducting material. The kind of light you use can reveal very different things ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...
