Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online on August 5, in ...

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 ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in two-dimensional systems, can emerge in strictly one-dimensional quantum platforms. The ...

Photonic systems offer great platforms for performing quantum walks. Adding long-range couplings between photonic lattice sites gives the direct way in algorithmically speeding up the efficiency of ...

Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of ...

Researchers have developed a compact quantum detector that makes terahertz radiation much easier to detect. A specially ...
