Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are often described as a "fifth state of matter": a quantum state in which many particles ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Scientists have used high-performance computing at large scales to analyze a quantum photonics experiment. In specific terms, this involved the tomographic reconstruction of experimental data from a ...

A new study reveals that some proposed signatures of quantum gravity may have an unexpected classical explanation.

Zachary Weller-Davies is in the Research Department of InstaDeep, London, W2 1AY, UK. Read the paper: Classical theories of gravity produce entanglement A number of experiments have been proposed to ...

Electrons zipping through transistors, powering the screens on our smartphones. Light zooming from distant stars to Earth, ...

A 135-year-old chemistry law is getting a quantum makeover. An experiment with a single quantum bit, or a qubit, has uncovered that the Arrhenius equation, which describes how reaction rates relate to ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...
