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

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

Physicists have identified a new superfluid phase in a class of quantum systems that, until recently, looked too unstable and ...

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

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

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

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...
