An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

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

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting superposition.

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

A cluster of recent experiments and theoretical studies has produced the strongest evidence yet that spin-triplet superconductivity can be reliably generated and controlled at material interfaces, a ...

Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.
