Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Big Tech companies are heavily invested in quantum computing development. While unstable, the technology could change medicine and other fields.

Quantum mechanics — the breakthrough physics theory that paved the way to our modern understanding of atoms, molecules and light — is turning 100 years old next year. During that time, the theory has ...
