Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, ...

Advances in satellite quantum communications aim at reshaping the global telecommunication network by increasing the security of the transferred information. Here, we study the effects of atmospheric ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

Ronald Hanson is at QuTech and the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, Delft 2628 CJ, the Netherlands. The authors show that for a 10-km fibre link, entanglement between ...

Quantum entanglement: Scientists have detected quantum entanglement in a centimeter-sized crystal. This material, known as a ...

A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online on August 5, in ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the way atoms physically move — bringing a phenomenon once described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" into even ...

A quantum mechanical trick called 'spin squeezing' is widely recognized to hold promise for supercharging the capabilities of the world's most precise quantum sensors, but it's been notoriously ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

We may never beam ourselves off the planet. But quantum teleportation is poised to bring about a new era of computing—and revolutionize our understanding of the subatomic world. This composite photo ...
