Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

A teenager from Belgium has just vaulted from prodigy to pioneer, completing a PhD in quantum physics at 15 and immediately ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.
