In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

Scientists have observed particles forming from the vacuum, revealing how matter may emerge from seemingly empty space.

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...
