A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A simple toy is helping scientists understand new details of a mysterious quantum process. The rhythmic click-clacking of the metal balls in Newton’s cradle has long ...

Three different papers by three different groups on the same theme back-to-back in Nature? That is unusual. Yes, which is why they caught my eye. The papers all look rather interesting: they are about ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

The correlated motion of flocks is an example of global order emerging from local interactions. An essential difference with respect to analogous ferromagnetic systems is that flocks are active: ...
