Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...
Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of ...
A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their paper published in Science Advances, the group explains that their ...
The seeds of quantum theory were sown by Albert Einstein and others as early as 1905. But the theory came together properly 100 years ago in 1925 – and has exerted its influence ever since, as this ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...
Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.
On the centennial of modern quantum mechanics, the Nobel Committee awarded the year’s most prestigious physics prize to an experiment that demonstrated how quantum effects play out on large ...
Teleportation via the internet sounds like science fiction. Still, researchers have now demonstrated quantum teleportation ...
