Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

The operation and performance of quantum computers relies on the ability to realize and control entanglement between multiple qubits. Yet entanglement between many qubits is inherently susceptible to ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

Quantum teleportation has finally stepped out of pristine laboratory loops and into the messy reality of live internet cables ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing ...

A number of experiments have been proposed to generate and witness gravitational entanglement, but Aziz and Howl’s work suggests that the presence of gravitational entanglement is not a ‘smoking gun’ ...

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

Bruce Yabsley works for the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, and receives funding from the Australian Research Council. He is a member of the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, in Geneva, ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...
