Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

The 2025 Homi Bhabha lecturer Rupamanjari Ghosh is a leading expert in quantum optics and a transformative figure in higher ...

Quantum physics fundamentally redefines our understanding of nature by describing the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales. Unlike classical theories, quantum mechanics reveals that ...

In a lab in Hangzhou, China, a small chip may have just passed one of the most difficult honesty tests in physics. The test ...

DARPA launched Phase 1 of its Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program, a groundbreaking effort to develop and deploy quantum sensing technology. Quantum sensors ...

The explanation behind the universe’s matter-antimatter asymmetry—an apparent violation of a fundamental law of nature known as charge-parity-time (CPT) symmetry—is one of particle physics’ greatest ...

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 ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...
