Quantum computing is emerging as one of the more promising areas of the technology industry, offering the potential to solve certain problems far beyond the practical capabilities of today’s computers ...

Quasiparticles arise from the complex interaction of many particles in solids; for example, we describe lattice vibrations in ...

The laws of physics underlying everyday life are, at one level of description, completely known, and can be summarized in a single elegant—if quite complex—equation. That's the claim physicist Sean ...

Quantum field dynamics in curved spacetime addresses how quantum fields—fundamental entities underpinning matter and forces—behave in the presence of gravitational curvature. Unlike flat Minkowski ...

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, headquartered at Florida ...

A tiny quantum machine can release light that is not simply wasted heat; some of that energy may still be useful for doing work. University of Basel physicists found that separating orderly, coherent ...

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 ...

Quantum computing is increasingly expected to have a role in shaping the future of science, commerce and many other applications, and the U.S. government recently gave leaders in the field a big ...
