New optical method bypasses light’s limit by 100,000× to image atoms
For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the tiny world. Microscopes use…
Entangled atomic clouds separated in space boost measurement precision
Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, nature is noisy, and…
New unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics
By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a…

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

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…
