Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

Researchers, government, academic and industry leaders from across California gathered at UC Santa Barbara on Friday to explore the university’s ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.
