If there weren’t any planets, stars, comets, asteroids, or other cosmic debris flying around, there would be merely the ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have observed particles emerging directly from empty ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

It has been 15 years since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started smashing particles together. Since then, I have been one among thousands of researchers scouring its collisions for evidence of new ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...
