Two recent studies published in Nature and Science Advances explored quantum approaches that could improve the precision of ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

“It’s not maths that makes physics a science. It’s the fact that you measure things,” says Michael de Podesta in this week’s Physics World Weekly podcast. De Podesta is in conversation with Physics ...

We typically think of quantum measurements as affecting the outcome by taking you from an indeterminate state to a determined one, like a superposition of states "collapsing" into a single eigenstate ...
