A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

“One of the basic axioms of the rational theory of decision under uncertainty is Savage’s (1954) sure-thing principle (STP).

As we journey from Newton's laws of gravity to Einstein's groundbreaking theory of relativity, and delve into the enigmatic ...

Quantum computing is the bleeding edge of computer science and stands to solve AI's energy consumption problem. IonQ is an ...

Would it be possible to control and even reverse the flow of time in a laboratory setting? While taking a trip back through ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ long-running goals: turning molecules into a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...
