Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

Laboratory experiments have coaxed simple molecules into states that naturally become more complex, hinting at the origins of ...

This mismatch between classical and quantum views has puzzled scientists for a long time. However, a new study attempts to ...

A mysterious menagerie of quantum states — once purely theoretical — has been brought to life by researchers at Columbia ...

In a new study published on April 3 in Nature, researchers added over a dozen states to the growing quantum zoo. "Some of these states have never been seen before," said lead author Xiaoyang Zhu, ...

Tomsk State University is launching a school where scientists master the Geant4 software package. This tool is used in ...

Previously, these analogues to Schrödinger's thought experiment were created by first cooling the quantum object to its ground state ... ultimately doesn't matter." The study was funded by ...

Previously, these analogs to Schrödinger's thought experiment were created by first cooling the quantum object to its ground state, the state with the lowest possible energy. Now, researchers led ...

Intriguing signs from CERN hint at a never-before-seen form of matter – one that could be the tiniest particle cluster ever detected. Top quarks, typically too short-lived to pair up, may have briefly ...

Its explanation requires controversial assumptions about new physics: either a very small but non-zero cosmological constant, an exotic form of matter ... In experiments, final states are ...
