In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. optic fibres with different colours of light A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion ...

The superposition of two light beams with different amplitudes carrying only negative orbital angular momentum (OAM) gives rise to a locally positive OAM in the dark regions. This counterintuitive ...

Particles of light that effectively exist in 37 dimensions at once have been used to test an extreme version of a quantum paradox. “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

The idea of synthetic dimensions is to use non-spatial degrees of freedom as dimensions to realize and study models of interest in high dimensions using low dimensional setups. Of particular interest ...
