When sand grains wedge together in a funnel, the whole column locks up. Something strikingly similar can happen to quantum ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

A method that relies on hitting materials with neutrons can measure how much quantum entanglement hides within them, which ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

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

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the ...

In a collaboration between the physics departments at the University and the University of Chicago, researchers have advanced a theoretical proposal in quantum physics that could lead to breakthroughs ...

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those vibrations might sound like a small detail, but in this case they are the ...
