Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

When sand grains wedge together in a funnel, the whole column locks up. Something strikingly similar can happen to quantum ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A visualization of how the ...

The operation and performance of quantum computers relies on the ability to realize and control entanglement between multiple qubits. Yet entanglement between many qubits is inherently susceptible to ...

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...

Controlling quantum states with high precision—and entangling particles—has long been the goal of researchers pushing the boundaries of quantum technology. Although great strides have been made across ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

As long as there's been an internet, there's been a way to hack it. Scientists have spent decades imagining a different kind ...

The modern scientific world prides itself on precision, empirical rigour, and the pursuit of measurable truth. Yet, some of ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...
