The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of ...

Quantum mechanics is underpinned by a variety of models that elucidate the interplay between particles and potentials. Among these, point interactions – often mathematically represented by Dirac delta ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

(Nanowerk News) INL researchers have explored a fascinating quantum ability which lacks a classical explanation: the capacity to detect objects without traditional physical interaction. Rafael Wagner ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...
