Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms.

A theoretical study conducted at São Paulo State University shows that quantum excitations without topological protection, ...

Quantum theory explains the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, like atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness into a realm that starts to look uncomfortably like everyday matter. Instead ...

Welcome to Stevens! As you begin your college journey (hopefully as a Duck!) I thought I would write this week’s column in a style more like “vintage” submissions from For Math’s Sake’s early days ...
