Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Physicists have pushed one of the strangest ideas in science into new territory, holding tiny clumps of metal in a quantum limbo that recalls Schrödinger’s famous cat. Instead of a single atom or ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Microsoft Corp. is partnering with startup Atom Computing Inc. to launch a quantum computer powered by neutral atom qubits. The tech giant detailed the collaboration today at its annual Ignite ...
