A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to ...

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

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

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Highly anticipated: Scientists at the University of Arizona have demonstrated a method to capture and manipulate quantum uncertainty in real time using rapid pulses of light, marking what they ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles that briefly emerge from nothing and affect real matter. This rare phenomenon, ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...
