An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The new experiment demonstrated a bizarre quantum effect from the double-slit experiment at an unprecedented scale. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...

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 ...
