In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

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 ...

A method that relies on hitting materials with neutrons can measure how much quantum entanglement hides within them, which ...

A tiny silica bead, just 100 nanometers across, sits suspended in a vacuum and vibrates under the grip of laser light. Those vibrations might sound like a small detail, but in this case they are the ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty ...

The Doodle falls on April 14, which marks "World Quantum Day." Here's everything to know about the latest Google Doodle and ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...
