In a groundbreaking experiment, physicist Giovanni Barontini sought to decipher the origins of time by creating a mini-universe through a Bose-Einstein condensate close to absolute zero. In this ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 ...

Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen has developed a highly complex laser-optical system for a quantum computer currently under construction at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart. This ...

What if time doesn't actually exist until something changes? Scientists at the University of Birmingham created a tiny "mini ...

By ignoring part of his own experiment, a physicist coaxed time to emerge from within a closed quantum system.

When atoms get close together (like, really close together) strange quantum effects can take place. A new study from MIT successfully placed two dysprosium atoms only 50 nanometers apart—10 times ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

When it comes to our world, our Solar System, and everything we can see in our Universe, it's all made up of the same ingredients: atoms. Electrons and atomic nuclei interact and link up to form not ...
