To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

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

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.
