Researchers from Rutgers, IBM and collaborating institutions have shown that a quantum computer can check what is happening ...

Many of nature's most important processes depend on how particles of matter interact with light and other force-carrying ...

Quantum particles can move between two locations through a process called tunneling. However, what ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

There's another notable first in the field of quantum physics to report on, and it's all to do with electron spin: the tiny, ...

Scientists make major step towards fixing the big problem with quantum computers - New technology could bring a variety of ...

Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle holds at quantum scales.

Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity. Now a new theoretical study pushes that weirdness into even stranger territory. It ...

Measuring gravitational analogues of quantum phenomena could lead to high-precision measurement of gravitational forces, according to a theoretical proposal. Micromuffins. The 1-µm-wide ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

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.
