Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

A chip-scale interface entangles light and electronic states without cryogenic cooling, bringing quantum networking hardware ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as a mysterious link between particles, but new research shows it may be even richer ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...
