Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Laurent Simons, a 15-year-old Belgian researcher, has earned a PhD in quantum physics and says his work in ultracold systems ...

At the turn of the 20th century, physicists realised their understanding of the subatomic world was wrong. A new theory was born: quantum mechanics. Despite defying everyday notions of the nature of ...

In a historic academic achievement, a 15-year-old genius known as 'Belgium's little Einstein' has completed his PhD in quantum physics at the University of Antwerp. Laurent Simons defended his thesis ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...
