Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

The new calculation, made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, could help solve a niggling mystery about this ...

Recent advances in quantum technologies are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for pushing the boundaries of High Energy Physics (HEP), offering innovative paradigms for simulating quantum field ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

A novel theory of 'wavy space-time' suggests that the division between our best descriptions of the universe on its smallest and largest scales may be because gravity does not play by quantum rules.

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...
