For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a way to flip the magnetic ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, revealing light-like particles with a strikingly high-dimensional character. By ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Highly anticipated: Scientists at the University of Arizona have demonstrated a method to capture and manipulate quantum uncertainty in real time using rapid pulses of light, marking what they ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

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

Quantum physicist You Chenglong has returned to China after more than a decade in the United States, taking up a full-time professorship at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
