Underpinning much of modern technology, from smartphones to scanning tunneling microscopes to particle colliders, is Fermi's ...

Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, resolving a question that's simmered since the field began.

Physicists developed simplified formulas to quantify quantum entanglement in strongly correlated electron systems. Their approach was applied to nanoscale materials, revealing unexpected quantum ...

Besides expanding our understanding of foundational physics, the team's breakthrough has significant potential applications in fields such as quantum information and quantum computing. Discover the ...

Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow of time and ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

For over a century, scientists have thought of time as a fundamental property of the universe. But the more researchers seek ...

"Wave-particle duality is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics," says Xiaofeng Qian, the paper's lead author and an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stevens. "Researchers have been working to ...
