Researchers at Yale, Google, and the University of California-Santa Barbara have created a device that simulates the quantum "tunneling" behavior of protons that occurs in chemistry, a process so ...

Scientists in Japan have shown that surface features only one atom high can direct the motion of quantum vortices through an ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

A simplified cosmological model suggests that decoherence can suppress quantum tunneling, effectively locking fields into the ...

Recently, Professor Dong Eon Kim from POSTECH's Department of Physics and Max Planck Korea-POSTECH Initiative and his research team have succeeded in unraveling for the first time the mystery of the ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their groundbreaking experimental work demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling, a phenomenon ...

Transmission electron microscope image and film stack of a magnetic tunnel junction with a multilayered ferromagnetic structure. Interfacial anisotropy is enhanced by increasing the number of ...

The objects you interact with every day are predictable – you can pick up a box, sit down in a chair without falling to the ...

RICHARD FEYNMAN, one of the 20th century’s greatest physicists, once quipped, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Appropriately, then, a certain sense of bemusement ...
