For the first time, a living animal has reported being quantum entangled – and lived. It is a long way from “beam me up, Scotty,” and it is not quite Schrodinger’s tardigrade. Quantum entanglement is…

According to a new study, the passage of time at the quantum level does not have to be in one direction. Quantum systems have the ability to go ahead and backward in time under specific…

The Frontera supercomputer was used by researchers to investigate light-induced superconductivity using a pulsed laser, which is thought to be a promising route to room-temperature superconductors. They discovered that a pulsed laser can enhance d-wave…

Researchers have created a circuit that can generate the high-quality microwave signals needed to control quantum computers while operating at temperatures close to absolute zero. This is an important step toward bringing the control system…

Laser beams can do more than just heat up objects; they can also cool them down. For physicists who have dedicated their careers to precision spectroscopy and the development of optical atomic clocks, this is…

The quantum world and our everyday world are worlds apart. Physicists are now investigating how the act of measuring a quantum particle converts it into a commonplace object. Quantum mechanics is the theory that describes…

“A glider is an airplane whose engine fails. A helicopter with a broken engine is a brick.” In a tweet from 2015, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed astrophysicist and general scientific person, roundly and extensively…

Quantum dots have a wide range of potential applications, but their ability to blink off at random intervals limits their use. Chemists have developed a method to control this unwanted blinking that does not require…

Solid-solution organic crystals have been introduced into the search for better photon up-conversion materials, which convert currently wasted long-wavelength light into more useful shorter wavelength light. Scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology revisited a…

Scientists at the University of Birmingham have created an experimental model of an elusive type of fundamental particle known as a skyrmion in a light beam. Skyrmions have the potential to revolutionize computing by exhibiting…
