Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

Researchers and students can now remotely run new kinds of quantum experiments on campus at the University of Michigan, thanks to the establishment of a quantum testbed that links two labs with ...

The graviton – a hypothetical particle that carries the force of gravity – has eluded detection for over a century. But now physicists have designed an experimental setup that could in theory detect ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ongoing quest for quantum gravity. These findings, which involve the behavior ...

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 ...

For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of indefinite causal order: an idea that suggests that timelines of events can ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but we can’t see both at the same time. Reading time 3 minutes Albert Einstein ...

Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...
