Experimental device harnesses quantum properties for efficient processing at room temperature. Engineers are working to ...

A century after Heisenberg formulated his theory, the field has transformed our understanding of the physical world, yet many ...

A new calculation shows how five atoms interact in the Efimov effect. It marks a major leap in quantum physics. Matter behaves weirdly at the quantum scale, one of the strangest examples being the ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

A team from UNamur, Harvard, MTU and Sparrow Quantum has designed a photonic chip that dramatically extends the entanglement range between quantum emitters by leveraging a near-zero refractive index ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...

Yet the promise of quantum computers and other technologies built on the back of it are enough to convince that, a century on, quantum theory is here to stay. Editorial: Quantum mechanics 100 ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

The full, weird story of the quantum world is much too large for a single article, but the period from 1905, when Einstein first published his solution to the photoelectric puzzle, to the 1960’s, when ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of ...
