A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

In quantum physics, light is treated as discrete particles called photons. These particles maintain some wave-like qualities, including interference.

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” ...

A team from UNamur, Harvard, MTU and Sparrow Quantum has designed a photonic chip that dramatically extends the entanglement range between quantum emitters by leveraging a near-zero refractive index ...

A new light-based method lets tiny quantum dots release perfectly controlled photons, opening doors to faster and cheaper ...

This research not only expands our understanding of quantum physics but also paves the way for transformative applications that could shape the future of technology and science.

Quantum scientists in Innsbruck have taken a major leap toward building the internet of the future. Using a string of calcium ...

Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, ...

New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light by Ingrid Fadelli, Phys.org ...

A careful alignment of three powerful lasers could generate a mysterious fourth beam of light that is throttled out of the very darkness itself. What sounds like occult forces at work has been ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics ...
