The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique ...

Remarkably, the physics of the Josephson effect, describing the tunnel coupling of the two superconductors, dictates that photons within the same junction strongly interact with one another, in sharp ...

Quantum computing promises to solve the seemingly unsolvable in fields such as physics, medicine, cryptography and more.

Scientists seeking to explore the teeming microcosm of quarks and gluons inside protons and neutrons report new data delivered by particles of light. The light particles, or photons, come directly ...

Quarks are elemental particles, with no sub-structure. Understanding them is crucial to learning how physics works on the smallest levels. By studying collisions of incredibly small particles made up ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
