Scientists have developed quantum control techniques that can suppress or even reverse a quantum system’s perceived arrow of…
Scientists show quantum mechanics can work without imaginary numbers
A new analysis conducted by researchers at the Heinrich Heine University (HHU) Düsseldorf and the German Aerospace Center…
What if Time Isn’t Fundamental? Physicists Just Tested the Idea in the Lab
A new quantum experiment suggests that time may emerge from the internal dynamics of a system rather than…
Schrödinger’s anthill: Quantum entanglement detected inside a centimeter-sized strange metal
A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to…
How Flocking Birds “Defy” One of Physics’ Most Fundamental Laws
Flocks of birds, bacteria and tissue cells: in some collective systems, the individual elements respond to only part…
