Newly discovered form of spiralized light breaks everything quantum physics says about photons

Scientists in Ireland discovered a new form of light that will radically change our understanding of how light functions.

Breakthrough: Quantum dot solids could revolutionize electronics

Scientists at Cornell University have made a discovery that rivals the single-crystal silicon wafer in significance.

Quantum processes control accurately to several attoseconds

An international team of scientists including MSU physicists succeeded in proving that control over quantum processes accurately to several attoseconds (one billionth of a billionth of a second) is possible. The details of the experiment are described in an article published in the latest issue of Nature Photonics.

The Experiment That Will Allow Humans to "See" Quantum Entanglement

We've puzzled over the nature of entanglement for almost a century. Now physicists have devised a way for us to "see" it for the first time.

Magnets levitate above a superconductor: New properties of superconductors discovered

New findings may eventually lead to a theory of how superconductivity initiates at the atomic level, a key step in understanding how to harness the potential of materials that could provide lossless energy storage, levitating trains and ultra-fast supercomputers.

Time Entanglement Raises Quantum Mysteries

Bizarre quantum bonds connect distinct moments in time, suggesting that quantum links — not space-time — constitute the fundamental structure of the universe.

Quantum knots are real!

The very first experimental observations of knots in quantum matter have just been reported in Nature Physics by scientists at Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (USA). The scientists created knotted solitary waves, or knot solitons, in the quantum-mechanical field describing a gas of superfluid atoms, also known as a Bose-Einstein condensate.

New quantum record as ball of atoms ends up in two spots at once

Try to imagine a tiny ball sitting on one fingertip yet also on your shoulder at the same instant. Are you struggling? Most of us can’t conceive of an object being in two places at once – yet physicists have just demonstrated the effect over a distance of half a metre, smashing previous records.

Photons carry messages from electrons over 1 mile

Physicists have used photons to communicate between two electrons through 1.2 miles of fiber optic cable.

Physicists Can Now Achieve Quantum Entanglement at Room Temperature

Quantum entanglement - the process though which particle's states become inextricably linked, despite being nowhere near each other, is usually carried out at incredibly low temperatures. But not any more: now physicists can perform the act at room temperature, which could have a profound effect on quantum computing and security.

Experiment records extreme quantum weirdness

Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and the University of Seville in Spain have reported the most extreme 'entanglement' between pairs of photons ever seen in the lab.

Researchers Discover Thin Material that Could Pave the Way for Next-Gen Quantum Communications

A major breakthrough has been made by researchers at the University of Technology, Sydney that could pave the way for the next-generation of quantum communications.

Quantum Teleportation Beyond The Starship Enterprise

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now managed a significant breakthrough.

A living thing in two places at once? This quantum quandary test is limited | Science

A recent proposed microbe experiment based on Schrodinger's counter-intuitive theory would have a scale so small as to be almost meaningless, and other challenges such as consciousness also come into play
