Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking new form of quantum behavior. In star-shaped Kagome crystals—named after a ...

For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits—or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers—to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer times, a key step in ...

Figure 1: To grasp the principal result of Niu and colleagues’ research, consider a device that raises a suspended weight in Earth’s gravitational field. Since both work and coherent ergotropy are ...

Quantum coherence and decoherence are fundamental indications of how well a system of quantum objects -- atoms or other quantum particles -- maintains its relationships and how reliably the ongoing ...

Mode locking—a laser technique that revolutionized optical physics—has been extended to x rays, producing stable trains of attosecond pulses with unprecedented phase coherence. Figure 1: Layout of the ...

Excitons are particle-like entities that form when electrons bind to electron vacancies called holes. A long-standing goal in condensed-matter physics is the unambiguous creation of a collective ...

New research shows that the unique properties of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates extend to the internal spin states of the atoms from which the condensates are formed. Bose-Einstein condensates are ...

Quantum coherence and entanglement stand as cornerstones of quantum mechanics, underpinning the superposition principle and the nonclassical correlations between spatially or functionally separated ...

Finnish quantum hardware company Coherence Quantum has raised €2.78 million in seed funding to build cryogenic control infrastructure for scaling quantum computers.

This Pearson BTEC Applied Science Unit 1 Physics PowerPoint covers path difference and coherence, including constructive and destructive interference calculations. Designed for the Waves in ...
