quantum physicists create largest ever ‘superposition’
Large objects, including cats, don’t show quantum effects. But physicists aren’t sure where the size limit lies. Credit:…
Positronium finally shows wave behavior in landmark quantum experiment
Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the smallest scales. One of…
Quantum engineers turn theory into physics via exciton control path
Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and Stanford University has demonstrated…
These women helped to shape quantum mechanics — it’s time to recognize them

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)…
What breaks quantum monogamy? Electron crowding delivers a surprise
Are quantum particles polygamous? New experiments suggest some of them abandon long-standing partnerships when conditions get crowded. Quantum…
Einstein Wrong in Bohr Debate, New Experiment Proves 98 Years Later
A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in…
