A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online on August 5, in ...

The superposition of two light beams with different amplitudes carrying only negative orbital angular momentum (OAM) gives rise to a locally positive OAM in the dark regions. This counterintuitive ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Particles of light that effectively exist in 37 dimensions at once have been used to test an extreme version of a quantum paradox. “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than ...

Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Quantum dots and quantum wells represent pivotal semiconductor nanostructures whose quantum confinement effects yield discrete energy spectra and highly tunable optical and electronic properties.

There are certain rules that the universe seems to follow in our everyday world. We can observe how objects are affected by their immediate surroundings, and we can see cause and effect in action. We ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that atomic-scale substitutional dopants in ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
