Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful alternative—quantum cryptography—offers security based on the laws of ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

Quantum technology has the potential to transform society. But how can you effectively inform the public about such complex ...

Physicists have developed a new theory that brings together two major areas of modern quantum physics. The work explains how a single unusual particle ...

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

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 ...
