A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the ...

In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new ...

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.
