Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

New study reveals how quantum entanglement is transferred in ultrafast photoionisation experiments, offering us insights into how quantum information develops from microscopic to macroscopic scales ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Quantum computers can solve problems beyond the ...
