What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them ...

For centuries, we’ve believed that time moves in only one direction—from the past to the future. Spilled milk doesn’t gather ...

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false vacuum. This state appears stable but could, over immense timescales, ...

Physicists have found a simple and effective way to skip over an energy level in a three-state system, potentially leading to ...

Many objects that we normally deal with in quantum physics are only visible with special microscopes—individual molecules or ...

Physicists at the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence suggesting that, at the quantum level, time does not have a ...

By combining digital and analog quantum simulation into a new hybrid approach, scientists have already started to make fresh scientific discoveries using quantum computers.

Researchers at the University of Surrey made a thought-provoking discovery. A new study reveals that opposing arrows of time can theoretically emerge from certain quantum systems. Dr Andrea Rocco, ...
