To most of us, time feels as solid as the phone alarm that drags us out of bed or the calendar that fills up faster than we ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
