We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

In quantum physics, there’s a state with even less energy than a vacuum, called a true vacuum, which is stable because it has ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

The concept of entanglement links far-flung particles. That relationship can prove that someone is in the location they claim ...

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

Theoretical physicists in the US have discovered a "speed limit" on the time taken for quantum information to spread through ...

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 ...

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

Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology ...
