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.

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

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

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

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

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 ...

Quantum technologies, systems that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle ...

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.

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

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

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...

The achievement paves the way for understanding the transition between a particle's classical and quantum behavior. (Nanowerk News) Researchers Mitsuyoshi Kamba, Naoki Hara, and Kiyotaka Aikawa of the ...
