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

A new study published in Nature Communications has shown that in the asymptotic limit, extracting the maximum possible work ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

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

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

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

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

The Princeton Quantum Initiative’s Ph.D. program is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been positioned as a physics-based method of securing encryption keys that cannot be ...
