From mobile phones and banking systems to aircraft, ships and emergency services, much of modern life relies on precise ...

The emergence of quantum entanglement is one of the fastest processes in nature. Scientists show that using special tricks, this can be investigated on an attosecond scale. Scientists have managed to ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions Alain Aspect Univ. Chicago Press (2024) French physicist Alain Aspect is a pioneer in ‘quantum entanglement’ — connections between the quantum properties of ...

A centimeter-sized crystal has revealed clear signs of quantum entanglement, showing that large, everyday objects can display ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Creating quantum entanglement from scratch can be tricky business, so researchers are exploring ways that entangled pairs can “share” these states ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a quantum engine powered by entanglement—the quantum property allows for the transfer of information across vast distances. The researchers ...

The term "quantum" has become synonymous with cutting-edge technology. Among the latest innovations are quantum engines—machines that harness the strange principles of quantum mechanics to generate ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Nearly a century ago, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger called attention to a quirk of the quantum world that has fascinated and vexed ...
