Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

A photon is supposed to be indivisible. It is a fundamental particle and the basic packet (or quantum) of light. It’s not ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to a far smaller world. In a new ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced ...

Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren't physically close to ...

Advances in recent years suggest we are entering the Quantum Frontier Era. National security, science, economic ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...
