The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...

Viruses exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter, while skin is a living interface between physics and ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...
