Ordinary fruit enhances performance of quantum sensors
Experimental setup to couple MWs to N- šā¢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- š spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were…
Quantum research sheds new light on how cells communicate
by Nathan S. Babcock Credit: Image created using Gamma AI Have you ever thought that light might hold a key to life’s mysteries? One hundred years ago, Alexander Gurwitsch dared…
Can entangled particles communicate faster than light?
Illustration depicting quantum entanglement between particles. Credit: ATLAS Experiment Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over…
Physicists measure quantum geometry for first time
Schematics of the spin-resolved CD-ARPES set-up. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02678-8 The MIT team solved the problem using a technique called angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, or ARPES. Comin, Kang, and…
Scientists observe ‘negative time’ in quantum experiments
Experimental physicist Daniela Angulo poses with an apparatus in the physics lab at the University of Toronto. Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material…

Automation of Nuclear Chemistry Processes Leads to
The Science Astatine-211 (At-211) is one of a handful of promising alpha emittingĀ radioisotopesĀ for cancer therapy. Its short 7.2-hour half-life means that it must be handled quickly to minimize losses due…
Quantum walk computing unlocks new potential in quantum science and technology
Quantum walk applications are divided into 4 main categories: quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum information processing, and graph-theoretic applications. Credit: Xiaogang Qiang, Shixin Ma and Haijing Song Quantum walks are…
