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

Quantum computing still stumbles on fragility, where tiny disturbances can wreck calculations. ETH Zurich researchers built a ...

Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized laser, where atoms work in concert rather than independently. Publishing ...

(Nanowerk News) Opening new possibilities for quantum sensors, atomic clocks and tests of fundamental physics, JILA researchers have developed new ways of “entangling” or interlinking the properties ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum process into a frame‑by‑frame movie. The work captures the split‑second ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers. Shining light on a water droplet creates effects ...

Measuring the attractive forces between atoms and surfaces with unprecedented precision, University of Arizona physicists have produced data that could refine our understanding of the structure of ...

Extremely cold atoms can control the shape and direction of light when they work together, relying on a type of physics proposed more than 400 years ago but only now proven to be possible. To shape ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, such as the merging of black holes. So far, direct detections have relied on measuring tiny distance changes over ...
