A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to a far smaller world. In a new ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, a team from the Nägerl group, together with theory collaborator Alvise ...

Quantum entanglement: Scientists have detected quantum entanglement in a centimeter-sized crystal. This material, known as a ...

In a new theoretical study, physicists at the University of Oslo modeled a single photon meeting an ultrafast optical shutter ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...
