A new approach to probe hadronization via quantum entanglement
Jet formation initiated by a quark or gluon, leading to the production of hadrons such as pions, kaons, or protons. This diagram illustrates the connection between the hadronization process and…

Researchers demonstrate the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure communication over a quantum network
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of data over a quantum communications network, including the UK’s first long-distance quantum-secured video call. The…
A new dissipation-based method to probe quantum correlations
Illustration of the dissipative processes in the strongly-correlated quantum many-body system. Credit: Zhao et al. Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible…
Scientists achieve high-efficiency single-photon source above loss-tolerant threshold
