Like other aspects of quantum science, the phenomenon of entanglement reveals itself at very tiny, subatomic scales. When two particles, such as a pair of photons or electrons, become …

Entanglement: This is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more objects are connected in such a way that they can be thought of as a single system, even if they are very far apart.

In the video above, theoretical physicist Fernando Brandão and experimental physicist Oskar Painter discuss progress in quantum computing, next steps in development, the advantages …

"If you build a house, it's only going to be as strong as the weakest pillar," says Vidick. "To have a truly usable system, you may need to combine quantum cryptography with elements that are …

Waves would spread outward from each point, eventually overlapping to form a more complex pattern. This is a superposition of waves. Similarly, in quantum science, objects such as …

Caltech researchers explain how they design experiments using specialized tools and techniques to probe the elusive phenomena of quantum mechanics.

But in the quantum world of particles, making these calculations is not possible due to a fundamental mathematical relationship called the uncertainty principle.

The collisions cause the mercury's electrons to jump up to a higher quantum energy state. High-energy electrons tend to jump back down to their lower state, and when they do, photons are …

Jul 12, 2022 · Learn how core quantum concepts like entanglement can inform out-there cinematic concepts from time travel to the multiverse.

Caltech professor Rana X Adhikari, who studies fundamental physics, explains how LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, uses quantum mechanics to detect and …
