Quantum particles can move between two locations through a process called tunneling. However, what ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them quantum physicists—up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know the ...

A new Duke Quantum Center study shows how quantum simulators can help researchers explore particle formation and the conditions that followed the Big Bang.

Quantum entanglement is a foundational phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantly influences the state of ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. On a quiet pandemic afternoon in 2021, Zhiyuan Wang, then a graduate student at Rice University, was alleviating his boredom by working ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
