The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a ...

A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Two Physical Review A papers outline how anyons could exist in one dimension, and how cold-atom experiments might spot them.

Theoretical physicists in the US have discovered a "speed limit" on the time taken for quantum information to spread through ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

Since the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park was backed by the state about two years ago, quantum technology ...

The concept of entanglement links far-flung particles. That relationship can prove that someone is in the location they claim ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...
