Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Quantum particles teamed up to generate stable, precise microwave signals, opening the door to myriad applications.

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox describes how quantum theory cannot be described by local ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

In 2024, a quantum state of light was successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of internet traffic – a feat of engineering once ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

A study led by the University of Portsmouth has achieved unprecedented precision in detecting tiny shifts in light displacements at the nanoscale. This is relevant in the characterization of ...
