The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum material. The finding confirms a true 3D quantum spin liquid and unlocks a ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

Regardless of the answers, the era of entanglement under infinite book‐keeping is giving way to an era of entanglement under limited books, limited clocks and limited gates. And in this more realistic ...

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...
