Quantum particles can work together to produce powerful signals. However, those signals are unstable and usually vanish ...

Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

Researchers at Brown University in the US have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum materials in a global first. These particles that defy traditional understanding of quantum ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...
