If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and ...

Quantum satellites currently beam entangled particles of light from space down to different ground stations for ultra-secure ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the ...

A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

In a remarkable development, researchers have successfully turned light into a supersolid for the first time, paving the way for new insights into the unusual quantum states of matter. This ...

A supersolid is a paradox of physics — a material that is both solid and liquid at the same time. This contradictory form of ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...
