We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...

In a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors.

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 ...

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 ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology ...

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

As long as there's been an internet, there's been a way to hack it. Scientists have spent decades imagining a different kind ...
