This week, CERN announced that it has detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the Xi-cc-plus. It's ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

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 ...

The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have demonstrated that quantum entanglement between pairs of atomic defects in diamond can sharpen nanoscale sensors well beyond ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and electrons. Modern quantum computers are typically large, costly systems that ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
