Physicists have discovered a strange new state of quantum matter in which ultracold atoms defy familiar organizational rules, forming a highly excited yet surprisingly orderly configuration called a ...

A concept from the field of quantum mechanics, spin is a property of particles that has no direct counterpart in everyday ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

Eddy Keming Chen is a philosopher of physics at the University of California, San Diego. Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this ...

Voltage fluctuations, light fluctuations, temperature fluctuations—any fluctuations are troublesome and thus undesirable.

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...
