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 ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that atomic-scale substitutional dopants in ...

The superposition of two light beams with different amplitudes carrying only negative orbital angular momentum (OAM) gives rise to a locally positive OAM in the dark regions. This counterintuitive ...

Particles of light that effectively exist in 37 dimensions at once have been used to test an extreme version of a quantum paradox. “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

With only two levels of superposition, the qubits used in today's quantum communication technologies have limited storage space and low tolerance for interference. Engineering's hyperdimensional ...

Quantum dots and quantum wells represent pivotal semiconductor nanostructures whose quantum confinement effects yield discrete energy spectra and highly tunable optical and electronic properties.

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

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 ...
