Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture.

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

And then it got me.” A handful of decades and an MIT physics doctorate later, Tan is the chief science officer (CSO) of ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

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