The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Scientists have finally unlocked a way to identify the elusive W state of quantum entanglement, solving a decades-old problem ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...
