Superconducting nanowires detect single protein ions

Researchers show an old law still holds for quirky quantum materials

An illustration shows strongly interacting electrons carrying heat and charge from warmer to cooler regions of a quantum material. A theoretical study by SLAC, Stanford and the University of Illinois…

Researchers invent new way to stretch diamond for better quantum bits

By “stretching” thin films of diamond, researchers have created quantum bits that can operate with significantly reduced equipment and expense. Credit: Peter Allen A future quantum network may become less…

Study finds more stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter

Researchers achieve quantum storage of entangled photons at telecom wavelengths in a crystal

Quantum tool opens door to uncharted phenomena

The temperature profiles obtained by the researchers show that particles that interact strongly with the environment are “hot” (red) and those that interact little are “cold” (blue). Entanglement is therefore…

Scientists propose new method to search for deviations from the Standard Model of physics

Artwork depicting entangled molecules. Credit: Caltech/Lance Hayashida In the search for new particles and forces in nature, physicists are on the hunt for behaviors within atoms and molecules that are…
