Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

Quantum chaos used to be the kind of phrase that made experimental physicists wince, a shorthand for fragile devices going off the rails when too many particles started talking to each other. Now a ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

It’s no surprise that quantum physics can be disorienting to the casual observer; after all, it does follow its own set of rules quite different from those of classical physics which rule over our ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...
