Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

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

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

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