For decades, physicists have talked about quantum distance, a way of measuring how similar or different two quantum states are. In this strange scale, a distance of one means two quantum states are ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have discovered a new material, MnBi6Te10, which can be used to create quantum highways along ...

Scientists have discovered a new twist to one of the fundamental interactions underpinning the physical world — the interplay of energy between electrons in a solid material. It’s the interaction ...

On the centennial of modern quantum mechanics, the Nobel Committee awarded the year’s most prestigious physics prize to an ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

(Nanowerk News) New energy-efficient electronic devices may be possible thanks to research that demonstrates the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect -- where an electrical current does not lose energy ...

On Tuesday the field of quantum mechanics received a thoughtful 100th-birthday present from the Royal Swedish Academy of ...
