Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Conventional wisdom has it that putting the ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

The first time I went under the knife, I remember the anesthesiologist asking me to count backward. “Ten, nine, eight…” and then it all went black. The next thing I knew, three hours had passed, yet ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...
