A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

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

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Researchers at Brown University in the US have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum materials in a global first. These particles that defy traditional understanding of quantum ...

Step aside, artificial intelligence. Another transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and reorder ...

Russian scientists have developed a 70-qubit quantum computer (a device that uses the principles and phenomena of quantum ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind. Similarly, in a 2013 ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

As a trained physicist and now a university president, I am doubly excited by the acceleration in quantum computing and the possibilities quantum thinking offers for elevated understanding, innovation ...
