For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

Physicists and engineers highlight latest research in 14 talks covering tensor networks, quantum error correction, ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...
