Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Quantum physics describes matter and light in terms of discrete quanta and inherently probabilistic rules that depart from classical intuition. At its heart lie wave–particle duality—entities such as ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Researchers, government, academic and industry leaders from across California gathered at UC Santa Barbara on Friday to explore the university’s ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are ...
