Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team has developed a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic length scale. This pioneering work realizes a long ...

(Nanowerk News) In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a quantum sensor ...

IonQ said Wednesday the planned acquisition is intended to expand its quantum technology portfolio. By integrating Vector Atomic’s advanced PNT systems, including rackmount optical atomic clocks, ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...
