Physicists find signs of a time crystal

Physicists have uncovered hints of a time crystal. Time crystals, first identified in 2016, are different from ordinary crystals, - their atoms spin periodically, first in one direction and then in another.

Quantum entanglement in massive atom clouds

Now three independent European research groups have managed to entangle not just a pair of particles, but separated clouds of thousands of atoms.

Quantum entanglement has now been made a reality in objects

The researchers managed to bring the motions of two individual vibrating drumheads -- fabricated from metallic aluminium on a silicon chip -- into an entangled quantum state.

A new state of matter

Physicists have identified a new state of matter whose structural order operates by rules more aligned with quantum mechanics than standard thermodynamic theory.

Scientists observe a new quantum particle with properties of ball lightning

Scientists have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally.

Massive astrophysical objects governed by subatomic equation

Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting material.

New type of quantum material

Physicists surprised when their theoretical model pointed to the existence of a never-before-seen material in a different realm of physics -- that of topological quantum materials.

Long-lived storage of a photonic qubit for worldwide teleportation

Scientists achieve long storage times for photonic quantum bits which break the lower bound for direct teleportation in a global quantum network.

Scientists elevate quantum dot solar cell world record

Researchers have established a new world efficiency record for quantum dot solar cells, at 13.4 percent.

Exotic quantum states made from light

Physicists create optical 'wells' for a super-photon for the first time.

Quantum Mechanics Could Shake Up Our Understanding of Earth’s Magnetic Field

Scientists think that might be the case, and are looking for a source of extra energy that could generate the magnetic field they observe.

First Object Teleported from Earth to Orbit

Researchers in China have teleported a photon from the ground to a satellite orbiting more than 500 kilometers above.

The multi-colored photons that might change quantum information science

The team demonstrates that photons can become an accessible and powerful quantum resource when generated in the form of color-entangled quDits.

Physicists just smashed a record to achieve quantum entanglement in space

In a new study, scientists have successfully transmitted entangled photons between a satellite and Earth at a distance of over 1,200 km.

Magnetic switch turns strange quantum property on and off

A research team has developed the first switch that turns on and off a quantum behavior called the Berry phase. The discovery may lead to new quantum electronic devices.
