Quantum squeezing is a concept in quantum physics where the uncertainty in one aspect of a system is reduced while the uncertainty in another related aspect is increased. Imagine squeezing a round ...

Photonic systems offer great platforms for performing quantum walks. Adding long-range couplings between photonic lattice sites gives the direct way in algorithmically speeding up the efficiency of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of ...

Figure 1: Barrios Hita and colleagues have explored a new path for developing a formulation of quantum theory that doesn’t rely on complex numbers [5]. In standard quantum theory, every physical ...

A scheme that moves electromagnetically trapped ions around a 2D array of sites could aid development of scaled-up ion-based quantum computing. Ion shuttle. This schematic shows the layout of the ...

For over a century, scientists have thought of time as a fundamental property of the universe. But the more researchers seek to understand time’s ultimate nature and the mechanics behind its emergence ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

Collisions between particles at high energies can sometimes produce new particles and shed light on interactions between the ...
