The objects you interact with every day are predictable – you can pick up a box, sit down in a chair without falling to the ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from atoms working in sync. By incorporating quantum entanglement into their models ...

Particles Lose Their OrbitsAt the same time Einstein was shaking the foundations of time and space, another massive crack was ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

A nanostructured gold surface can filter light depending on the tendency of its photons to arrive at a detector in pairs. Read the paper: Quantum statistical plasmonic metacrystals The authors focus ...

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, but cannot be seen, in the quantum realm. (Nanowerk News) In the quirky, ...
