Quantum entanglement among multiple indistinguishable particles typically manifests as either bright or dark states. Dark states are characterized by their near-total invisibility to emitted light, ...

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as ‘momentary’ or ‘instantaneous’: An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom – in ...

An atom is hit by a laser pulse. One electron is ripped out of the atom, another electron is shifted into a state with higher energy. Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Quantum computers are able to solve complex calculations that would take traditional computers thousands of years in just a few minutes. What if that analytical power is turned inwards towards the ...

Physicists developed simplified formulas to quantify quantum entanglement in strongly correlated electron systems. Their approach was applied to nanoscale materials, revealing unexpected quantum ...

Quantum entanglement lets particles stay connected, even when separated by vast distances. This strange link is crucial to building quantum computers and securing quantum communications. But it’s also ...

Quantum entanglement, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, allows particles to remain connected across vast distances. This ...

In the quest to build a quantum internet, scientists are putting their memories to the test. Quantum memories, that is. Now, two teams of scientists have entangled quantum memories in networks nestled ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
