For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel ...

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their work looking at electrons in atoms in split-second moments. Hans Ellegren, the ...
