Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

John Clarke, Michel H Devoret and John M. Martinis are announced this year's Nobel Prize winners in Physics, by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockhom, Sweden October ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Rigetti achieved 99.5% 2-qubit gate fidelity, making meaningful progress toward the 99.9% threshold needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing. With $575 million in cash, Rigetti has the runway to ...
