An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting superposition.

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

A cluster of recent experiments and theoretical studies has produced the strongest evidence yet that spin-triplet superconductivity can be reliably generated and controlled at material interfaces, a ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...
