A new set of upgrades to the International Space Station’s Cold Atom Laboratory is allowing NASA to probe quantum mechanics ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 ...

What if time doesn't actually exist until something changes? Scientists at the University of Birmingham created a tiny "mini ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

Over the past 20 years, scientists have been developing ways of using neutral atoms for quantum computing 1. Writing in Nature, Bluvstein et al. 2 demonstrate how far these methods have come: the ...

By ignoring part of his own experiment, a physicist coaxed time to emerge from within a closed quantum system.

When atoms get close together (like, really close together) strange quantum effects can take place. A new study from MIT successfully placed two dysprosium atoms only 50 nanometers apart—10 times ...

When you eat food, drink liquids, or even breathe in the air, many of those atoms wind up getting incorporated to your body. When you sweat, exhale, and either secrete or excrete matter from your body ...

Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen has developed a highly complex laser-optical system for a quantum computer currently under construction at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart. This ...

The ancient Greek and Indian philosophers who first conjectured that matter was made of tiny little bits of stuff would not believe that now, more than 25 centuries later, we can actually see them.
