Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...

Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a ...

While quantum computers continue to slowly grind towards usefulness, some are pursuing a different approach—analog quantum ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

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, ...

An international team of researchers from Hanyang University, led by Professor Yoonjung Jang, collaborated with Professor Stefan Ringe of Korea University and Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Daegu ...

Quantum computing is getting there. After years of slow but steady development to create a useful quantum computer that can outperform classical machines, we’re still squarely in the “noisy ...

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...
