Electrons inhabit a strange and topsy-turvy world. These infinitesimally small particles have never ceased to amaze and mystify despite the more than a century that…
Since the very beginning of quantum physics, a hundred years ago, it has been known that all particles in the universe fall into two categories:…
KAIST researchers have synthesized a collection of nanoparticles, known as carbon dots, capable of emitting multiple wavelengths of light from a single particle. Additionally, the…
Researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to visualize quantum dots in bilayer graphene, an important step toward quantum information technologies. Trapping and controlling electrons in…
Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behavior of black holes. The Unruh…
Investigators develop a method to determine how quantum the state of a system is. Large objects, such as baseballs, vehicles, and planets, behave in accordance…
Calculations show how theoretical ‘axionic strings’ could create odd behavior if produced in exotic materials in the lab. A hypothetical particle that could solve one…
As scientists build smaller and smaller machines, they need to understand the invisible forces that make those machines work. Thanks to research and the initiative…
Quantum technology experts from around the country will convene virtually at the University of Chicago on Nov. 11-13, 2020 to forge new partnerships amid an…
When atoms get extremely close, they develop intriguing interactions that could be harnessed to create new generations of computing and other technologies. These interactions in…
Researchers proposed a new approach to describe the interaction of metals with electromagnetic fluctuations (i.e., with random bursts of electric and magnetic fields). Researchers from…
Researchers from Trinity have discovered a uniquely quantum effect in erasing information that may have significant implications for the design of quantum computing chips. Their…
In a very unusual way, the electrical and magnetic properties of a particular crystal are linked together — the phenomenon was discovered and explained at…
Patrick Windpassinger and his team demonstrate how light stored in a cloud of ultra-cold atoms can be transported by means of an optical conveyor belt….
A phenomenon of quantum mechanics known as superposition can impact timekeeping in high-precision clocks, according to a theoretical study from Dartmouth College, Saint Anselm College…
The discovery of triplet spin superconductivity in diamonds has the potential to revolutionize the high-tech industry. Diamonds have a firm foothold in our lexicon. Their…
Scientists have re-investigated a sixty-year-old idea by the American physicist P.W. Anderson and provided new insights into the quantum world. Quantum physics explains how the…
University of Rochester researcher receives $1 million grant to study quantum thermodynamics. It’s still more science fiction than science fact, but perfect energy efficiency may…
