Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

The theory does predict some intriguing things that might raise the hackles of many physicists. It finds, for instance, that black holes can destroy quantum information – something that’s considered ...

For instance, an atom might emit a photon to the left or to the right; quantum theory leaves the outcome open. According to the many-worlds interpretation, that is because the same situation arises in ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

BOULDER — The first commercial quantum computer to exceed 1,000 qubits was built in Boulder. California-headquartered Atom Computing Inc., which opened a Boulder research and development center last ...

FOR an experiment designed to help us find evidence of other universes, it looks surprisingly modest. As Zoran Hadzibabic walks me into the lab, it feels more like a classroom, complete with linoleum ...

World’s Fastest Electron Microscope, Quantum Consciousness and the Origin of Life Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest electron ...
