Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

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

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Would it be possible to control and even reverse the flow of time in a laboratory setting? While taking a trip back through ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

Black holes have properties characteristic of quantum particles, a new study reveals, suggesting that the puzzling cosmic objects can be at the same time small and big, heavy and light, or dead and ...
