A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unthinkable state of matter that challenges decades of assumptions ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...
