Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path.

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

For decades, theoretical physics has struggled to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The primary obstacle is the assumption that spacetime is a smooth, continuous fabric, which leads ...

Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

The Aquila magneto-optical trap in QuEra’s facilities. Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the ...

Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

The powerful software can reduce the time needed to simulate reactions with large molecules from weeks to just minutes.

The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark's plans to develop "the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer" mark just two of the latest developments in quantum ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...
