Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

It looks like time travel, closed timelike curves, quantum mechanics, and quantum entanglement are once again at the centre ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in two-dimensional systems, can emerge in strictly one-dimensional quantum platforms. The ...

Creating quantum entanglement inside a solid material is tricky in the lab – but crystals buried in the earth could be ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

"Once again for every problem we create, we find a solution in another dimension and direction. Necessity is the mother." ...

Researchers at Microsoft have announced the creation of the first “topological qubits” in a device that stores information in an exotic state of matter, in what may be a significant breakthrough for ...

Scientists measured negative time in a quantum physics experiment using photons and rubidium atoms, calling it an unusual behavior.

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...
