Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

Quantum physics is a very diverse field: it describes particle collisions shortly after the Big Bang as well as electrons in solid materials or atoms far out in space. But not all quantum objects are ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

The proposed model-checking approach can be used for the specification and verification of quantum circuits with their desired properties. Ishikawa, Japan-- Quantum computing is a rapidly growing ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

During the 2024-25 school year, students in Southern Adventist University’s physics club taught lessons about the basics of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QUIST) at three local schools.
