Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function ...

In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated quantum effects in an electric circuit, an advance that underlies today’s quantum computers.

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

A new quantum transport theory reveals how femtosecond time scale thermoelectric fluctuations influence energy control at the ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

Having good neighbors can be very valuable—even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our ...

A new technical paper titled “Silicon-based Josephson junction field-effect transistors enabling cryogenic logic and quantum ...
