A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...
