Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, it’s like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is dancing and how fast […]

Normally, materials expand when heated. Higher temperatures cause atoms to vibrate, bounce around and take up a larger volume. However, for one specific phase of plutonium—called delta-plutonium—the opposite inexplicably occurs: it shrinks above room temperature. […]
Quantum distance refers to a measure of quantum mechanical similarity between two quantum states. A quantum distance of one means that the two quantum states are the same, whereas a quantum distance of zero implies […]
A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online in Physical Review Letters. Click to rate this post! [Total: […]
Three nano-glass spheres cling to one another. They form a tower-like cluster, similar to when you pile three scoops of ice cream on top of one another—only much smaller. The diameter of the nano cluster […]
A joint research team from Japan has observed “heavy fermions,” electrons with dramatically enhanced mass, exhibiting quantum entanglement governed by the Planckian time—the fundamental unit of time in quantum mechanics. This discovery opens up exciting […]
Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers. But today’s machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or “qubits,” that store and process information are easily disrupted […]
Whenever we mull over what film to watch on Netflix, or deliberate between different products on an e-commerce platform, the gears of recommendation algorithms spin under the hood. These systems sort through sprawling datasets to […]
Neural networks revolutionized machine learning for classical computers: self-driving cars, language translation and even artificial intelligence software were all made possible. It is no wonder, then, that researchers wanted to transfer this same power to […]
In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. […]
