The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Quantum entanglement – once dismissed by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" – has long captured the public ...

Indian scientists at Raman Research Institute in Bengaluru have made a groundbreaking discovery in quantum science by ...

Changing interactions between the smallest particles at the touch of a button: Quantum researchers at RPTU have developed a ...

Traditionally, scientists have measured gravity’s influence on atoms by tracking how fast atoms tumble down tall chutes. Such experiments can help test Einstein’s theory of gravity and precisely ...

Scientists in South Korea have created what they call "the world’s smallest ball game," throwing individual atoms between two optical traps. The research could eventually make for more adaptable and ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. When you purchase through links on our ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

One of light’s most redeeming features is that it can be guided in optical fibers with very little change to its properties. In terms of quantum information processing and sensing, this is important: ...

Physicists have successfully created the world's first 3D simulation of topological matter consisting of ultracold atoms. Physicists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and ...
