Stanford researchers have recorded the first real-time quantum jumps of sound, watching single phonons abruptly vanish from one energy state to another. The breakthrough could open new paths for ...

The objects you interact with every day are predictable – you can pick up a box, sit down in a chair without falling to the ...

In hushed voices in a darkened room, John and James Kountz stared intently at what looked to any unsuspecting person like a computer screen inside a metal suitcase. The identical twins in matching ...

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...

On the outskirts of Hamburg, Germany, pulses from one of the world’s biggest X-ray lasers race underground towards a stainless-steel chamber. Directly above, another huge laser waits. Soon, its beam ...

A proposed qubit made with superfluid helium could cut quantum computing error rates by around 100 times by shielding quantum information from common forms of electromagnetic noise. If experiments ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

Radiofrequency pulses kept a crystal quantum memory coherent long enough to preserve individual photons across ...

Stanford scientists captured a quantum jump in sound in real time, a step toward better quantum error detection, sensing, and ...

The result extends an experimental history stretching back more than a century. Quantum jumps were theorized in the early ...
