Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

A rewarding book that offers a cogent look at the science’s history and the second quantum revolution that’s under way ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...
