A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

Quantum satellites currently beam entangled particles of light from space down to different ground stations for ultra-secure ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

Quantum entanglement lets particles stay connected, even when separated by vast distances. This strange link is crucial to building quantum computers and securing quantum communications. But it’s also ...

A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Quantum mechanics has at last been formulated exclusively with real numbers, bringing a mathematical puzzle at the heart of ...
