In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both mass and energy can move freely without friction or energy loss. In everyday ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is causing such excitement. Instead of slowing down when particles collide, this ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the past decades, researchers have introduced several new quantum information ...

David Severn has taken a series of images of scientists working on quantum physics for King’s College London’s new Quantum ...
