A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial has demonstrated for the first time that a key principle ...

Finding out what the universe is actually made of remains one of the ultimate ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

Physicists in Israel have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. (Nanowerk News) ...

The astronomy and quantum information science communities met together in a one-day workshop to share experiences and ideas on how to reach the next level — the quantum level — of astronomical ...

We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...

Fuzziness may rule the quantum realm, but it can be manipulated to our advantage. When two black holes spiral inward and collide, they shake the very fabric of space, producing ripples in space-time ...

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

Quantum optics merges quantum mechanics with photonic science to exploit non-classical properties of light—such as entanglement, squeezing and single-photon control—for advanced spectroscopic ...

This includes proposals such as the Atom Interferometry CERN Experiment (AICE), which would apply similar techniques over ...
