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

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

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

A new study published in Nature Communications has shown that in the asymptotic limit, extracting the maximum possible work ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

The Princeton Quantum Initiative’s Ph.D. program is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery ...

Quantum systems can secretly “remember” their past—even when they appear not to. Scientists found that whether a system shows ...

Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ Physicists use pulses of light ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...
