Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

The world of quantum physics is a very different world from the day-to-day reality we experience. In the quantum world, interactions across vast distances can occur, non-local interactions. Some ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Scientists are learning to sculpt photons into powerful new forms, opening the door to high-capacity quantum technologies.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa (Wits University) in collaboration with Huzhou University in China have discovered a way to protect quantum information ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...
