A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in ...

A cluster of recent experiments and theoretical studies has produced the strongest evidence yet that spin-triplet superconductivity can be reliably generated and controlled at material interfaces, a ...

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

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Two African science journalists – Paul Adepoju and Mkhululi Chimoio – have won the “ Quantum Pitch Competition ”, organized by Physics World and Physics Magazine to mark the International Year of ...
