Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

This week, CERN announced that it has detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the Xi-cc-plus. It's ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as ...

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 ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have demonstrated that quantum entanglement between pairs of atomic defects in diamond can sharpen nanoscale sensors well beyond ...

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
