At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

At 15, a Belgian prodigy finishes a quantum physics PhD and turns to AI-driven medicine, raising an unexpected question about ...

Two African science journalists – Paul Adepoju and Mkhululi Chimoio – have won the “ Quantum Pitch Competition ”, organized by Physics World and Physics Magazine to mark the International Year of ...
