Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

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

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

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 ...
