Aalto researchers have used an IBM quantum computer to explore an overlooked area of physics, and have challenged 100 year old cherished notions about information at the quantum level. The rules of ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Physics sets unforgiving limits on how fast anything can move, yet the same laws also leave surprising room for creative ways to cross the gulf between stars. The real question is not whether the ...

A team at New York University has discovered a new form of time crystal that hovers using sound waves. Unlike ordinary matter, these crystals seem to behave in ways that don’t align with Newton’s ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

Over at NPR's science blog, Adam Becker has a post on "The Puzzle Of Quantum Reality". It's a good example of what it is, namely yet another explanation of the measurement problem and interpretations ...

Simulation of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics using a quantum computer goes beyond centuries old conventions. Aalto researchers have used an IBM quantum computer to explore an overlooked area of ...
