To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

In quantum physics, entanglement links particles across space in ways that defy logic. However, there’s a lesser-known phenomenon that’s even more intriguing than entanglement, and it’s called quantum ...

Quantum technologies, devices and systems that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks more ...

While quantum entanglement mimicks the first law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy in a system, scientists wonder if the second law—especially the part about reversibility—could hold true. A new ...

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

Cables underneath New York City are teeming with entangled quantum particles of light thanks to Qunnect, a company that has ...

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 ...
