Once cooled, the laser light has to give the bead a bit of a kick in just the right way to entangle the two. This is done by ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

While we're far away from beaming around like 'Star Trek,' innovation of communications technology has become the closest thing to true teleportation.

Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — and built on ideas from a physics great. Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions ...

A quantum mechanical trick called 'spin squeezing' is widely recognized to hold promise for supercharging the capabilities of the world's most precise quantum sensors, but it's been notoriously ...

Most of us recognize basic phases of matter and their properties: solids maintain their shape, liquids flow freely with ...

Adiabatic quantum computing An example problem represented by an energy landscape. Each point on the landscape represents a candidate solution. The deepest valley represents the actual solution with ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Nearly a century ago, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger called attention to a quirk of the quantum world that has fascinated and vexed ...
