Even the most chaotic quantum systems keep a permanent mark of their own past—a "quantum birthmark"—that never fades.

The universe may be trapped in its own comfort zone, and a researcher in the College of Engineering and Computer Science has ...

Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle holds at quantum scales.

Researchers have experimentally observed energy patterns that physicists have predicted for about 40 years. By arranging ...

Quantum entanglement has baffled physicists since Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen first questioned whether the quantum ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide ...

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 ...
