A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those ...

A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a ...

Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

A method that relies on hitting materials with neutrons can measure how much quantum entanglement hides within them, which ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level ...
