He’s turned a monkey into a waiter and made sculptures out of bees — for his next trick, Pierre Huyghe is entering the ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Shoppers like flawless diamonds, but for quantum physicists, the flaws are the best part. Senior Elisabeth Rülke has spent the past year using lasers and flawed diamonds — tiny wafers of diamond with ...

Quantum physicist Mikhail Lukin has been appointed a University Professor, Harvard’s highest faculty rank, the University announced Tuesday. Lukin will become the Joshua and Beth Friedman University ...

With today's technology, we already have computers that not only calculate but also bend the rules of physics to solve problems that were previously thought impossible. That is the promise of quantum ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

The quantum world operates by different rules than the classical one we buzz around in, allowing the fantastical to the bizarrely normal. Physicists have described using quantum entanglement to ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

By inserting tiny imperfections into the stones, scientists open up possibilities in computing, encryption and sensors ...
