Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...
Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers.
There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...
Quantum tunnelling, a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon, allows particles to penetrate energy barriers that they classically should not overcome. In chemical reactions, this effect is ...
The interplay between quantum tunnelling and dynamical systems continues to reshape our understanding of microscopic behaviour and non‐linear dynamics. Quantum tunnelling – the counterintuitive ...
Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel Devoret and American John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for putting quantum mechanics into action and enabling the development of all kinds of ...
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive ...
Keeping track of time seems simple. A watch ticks, a pendulum swings, and a calendar flips. But at the quantum level, marking time is far more complicated — and far more expensive than anyone expected ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their groundbreaking experimental work demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling, a phenomenon ...
Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...
For most of the past century, wormholes sat comfortably in the realm of science fiction, a mathematical curiosity that let ...
