A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

According to a new theory, our universe developed from a “pre-inflationary multiverse” made of particles in quantum superposition.

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly ...

The demonstration marks an important step toward practical quantum communication networks. During the experiment, researchers ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania brought quantum networking out of the lab and onto commercial fiber-optic cables using the same Internet Protocol (IP) ...
