A group of scientists has created a quantum material where electricity can flow without losing energy as heat. Until now, this was only seen in ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, physicists have talked about quantum distance, a way of measuring how similar or different two quantum states are. In ...

Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
