A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.

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

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how ...

Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought experiment where particles and their antiparticles might exist simultaneously ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
