A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size of an atom, though, and the rules usually change. At that scale, particles ...

I've long been fascinated by the practical and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence (AI). But recently, with the emergence of advanced large language models (LLMs), I've started to ...

Quantum mechanics — the breakthrough physics theory that paved the way to our modern understanding of atoms, molecules and light — is turning 100 years old next year. During that time, the theory has ...

For more than seven years, scientists at the University of Michigan have explored the strange quantum oscillations of the Kondo insulator ytterbium boride (YbB 12). In 2018, the team discovered that ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

The world is as weird as we feared. A new experiment confirms yet again the existence of correlations between distant entangled quantum particles – and this time we have measured the phenomenon so ...
