When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone. This ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

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

Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Chuo University have proposed a strategy to identify light dark matter using a ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...
