Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it. That ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, revealing light-like particles with a strikingly high-dimensional character. By ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles that briefly emerge from nothing and affect real matter. This rare phenomenon, ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...
