A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

After the passing of physicist Anthony Leggett, columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan remembers their personal connection with ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum material. The finding confirms a true 3D quantum spin liquid and unlocks a ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science. Reading time 6 minutes The use of the word “quantum” has become ...

Quantum radar leverages quantum entanglement for superior detection in noisy environments, surpassing classical systems with ...

Two nonchalant physicists, one with a wry smile, are monitoring some of the most advanced quantum technology in the UK, an ultra-stable laser at the National Physical Laboratory in London. This ...

This winter in Bristol has been even gloomier than usual – so I was really looking forward to the Bristol Light Festival 2026. We went on the last evening of the event (28 February) and we were ...
