The universe feels three-dimensional — but some of the deepest physics suggests reality may have 11 dimensions hidden from our senses. This idea comes from theories like string theory and M-theory, ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

A team of theoretical researchers has found duality can unveil non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases, which ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a National Quantum Information Science Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, takes a science-first approach to exploring new ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...

Physicists have developed a new theory that brings together two major areas of modern quantum physics. The work explains how a single unusual particle ...

One-dimensional quantum gases confined in harmonic traps offer a unique platform to probe the interplay between quantum correlations, confinement and interaction strength. These systems, realised with ...

To most of us, time feels as solid as the phone alarm that drags us out of bed or the calendar that fills up faster than we ...
