Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness into a realm that starts to look uncomfortably like everyday matter. Instead ...

In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the ...
