A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By ...

A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Classical physics is characterized by the equations describing the world. Yet our day-to-day experience is struck by this deterministic vision of the world. A physicist has been analyzing the ...

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide ...

Scientists uncovered universal laws of entanglement in any dimension. The results strengthen links between particle physics, quantum theory, and gravity. A group of theoretical physicists has shown th ...

Quantum gravity, at its most basic, is what scientists think occurs when classical physics become mathematically nonsensical around quantum phenomena such as black holes. Time travel ...

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. It has puzzled ...

Classical approach extends the range of noisy quantum computers The experimental work “is an impressive feat”, says Arijeet Pal of University College London. “The demonstration that there is a ...

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – classical and quantum physics. MIT physicists have now observed the moment atoms switch from one to the other, as ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics ...

The original idea of quantum physics was born with this realization that the Universe couldn’t be entirely classical, but rather could be reduced into indivisible bits which appeared to play by ...
