Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could enable quantum leaps in computing speed, security in communications and ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...

Scientists developed a theory linking mobile and static behaviors of a particle in a Fermi sea, explaining quasiparticles and quantum states.

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...
