Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

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

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...
