Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Conventional wisdom has it that putting the ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

The first time I went under the knife, I remember the anesthesiologist asking me to count backward. “Ten, nine, eight…” and then it all went black. The next thing I knew, three hours had passed, yet ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
