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

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

He’s turned a monkey into a waiter and made sculptures out of bees — for his next trick, Pierre Huyghe is entering the ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

While the first quantum revolution gave us new rules that govern physical reality at its smallest scales, the second quantum revolution will take these rules and use them to develop new technologies ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Quantum physicist Mikhail Lukin has been appointed a University Professor, Harvard’s highest faculty rank, the University announced Tuesday. Lukin will become the Joshua and Beth Friedman University ...

Shoppers like flawless diamonds, but for quantum physicists, the flaws are the best part. Senior Elisabeth Rülke has spent the past year using lasers and flawed diamonds — tiny wafers of diamond with ...

The quantum world operates by different rules than the classical one we buzz around in, allowing the fantastical to the bizarrely normal. Physicists have described using quantum entanglement to ...

Physicist Ralf Schützhold proposes using powerful laser interferometers to exchange energy with gravitational waves, ...

With today's technology, we already have computers that not only calculate but also bend the rules of physics to solve problems that were previously thought impossible. That is the promise of quantum ...

By inserting tiny imperfections into the stones, scientists open up possibilities in computing, encryption and sensors ...
