Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Atom localisation techniques have emerged as a pivotal area in quantum science, enabling unprecedented precision in positioning atoms within electromagnetic fields. Recent advances have harnessed the ...

At first glance, however, quantum physics does not really seem to adhere to this rule: Mathematically speaking, entropy in quantum systems always remains the same. A research team at TU Wien has now ...

Hub for quantum advances grows as additional companies move in The Colorado Quantum Incubator (COQI)—a CU Boulder-led hub for advancing quantum lab-to-market technology translation, research, ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

A new platform developed by Illinois Grainger engineers demonstrates the utility of a ytterbium-171 atom array in quantum networking. Their work represents a key step toward long distance quantum ...

A partnership between Microsoft and Atom Computing has leveraged high-performance computing to successfully process 24 logical qubits, or quantum bits, marking a milestone in the quest to bring ...
