Scientists measured light particles spending a negative amount of time inside a cloud of atoms, that appeared to exit the ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments recently detected quantum entanglement between top quarks in high-energy collisions at the LHC. What does that mean? Quantum entanglement links subatomic particles in a ...

A team at the University of Chicago has discovered a surprisingly simple way to create powerful quantum states that are normally difficult to produce. By making small adjustments to the energy levels ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics is a physics framework that describes how matter and energy behave at an extremely small scale, ...

Quantum physicists have uncovered a bizarre phenomenon in which photons appear to spend a “negative” amount of time ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...
