The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Moving excitons with light and a nano-ridge could help bridge optics and electronics, enabling new devices and faster, more ...

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could ...

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

As a trained physicist and now a university president, I am doubly excited by the acceleration in quantum computing and the possibilities quantum thinking offers for elevated understanding, innovation ...
