Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

Modern physics is weird. In quantum mechanics we have the Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment, a cat in a quantum ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

Quantum materials, materials exhibiting physical behavior governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved promising ...

A familiar thought experiment about a hidden cat has helped scientists take a meaningful step toward building reliable ...

Scientists used swirling water waves to simulate a quantum effect, uncovering rotating nodal patterns that could deepen understanding of hidden quantum phenomena.

Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal large enough to see without a microscope. The discovery shows that quantum ...

Scientists have used high-performance computing at large scales to analyze a quantum photonics experiment. In specific terms, this involved the tomographic reconstruction of experimental data from a ...

A quantum internet would essentially be unhackable. In the future, sensitive information—financial or national security data, for instance, as opposed to memes and cat pictures—would travel through ...

Scientists at Paderborn University have for the first time used high-performance computing (on the right in the picture the Paderborn supercomputer Noctua) to analyse a quantum photonics experiment on ...
