Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

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

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

A new computational simulation of the early universe has revealed a fundamental, unbreakable geometric limit to the fabric of spacetime, dubbed the "Metric Wall." Discovered by independent physics ...

Recently, Professor Jianda Wu’s research team from the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with Professor Jie Ma from the School of Physics and Astronomy and ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...
