Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

The simulation of quantum systems and the development of systems that can perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical effects rely on the ability to arrange atoms in specific patterns with high ...

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 potential energy ...
