Something genuinely strange has just happened in fundamental physics: an underground neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean ...
Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...
Quantum entanglement has long been framed as a strange communication channel between particles, but the latest experiments suggest it can do something more concrete and practical: make light itself ...
They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
For more than seven years, scientists at the University of Michigan have explored the strange quantum oscillations of the Kondo insulator ytterbium boride (YbB 12). In 2018, the team discovered that ...
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 ...
We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...
