A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

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

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox describes how quantum theory cannot be described by local ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Long tubes, strong magnets, and bright lasers. Is that all it takes to entice the shyest particles in the universe to reveal themselves? Physicists working on the ALPS II experiment certainly hope so, ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Physicists want to ramp up their efforts to weigh neutrinos, which are perhaps the most mysterious of all elementary particles. Currently, only one experiment in the world has a shot at making such a ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
