Do measurements produce the reality they show us?
According to quantum theory, measurement results are shaped by the changes in the relation between the past and the future of a system caused by the measurement interaction. Credit: Tomonori…
Research group detects a quantum entanglement wave for the first time using real-space measurements
Artistic illustration depicts magnetic excitations of cobalt-phthalocyanine molecules, where entangled electrons propagate into triplons. Credit: Jose Lado/Aalto University Triplons are tricky little things. Experimentally, they’re exceedingly difficult to observe. And…
Advances in quantum emitters mark progress toward a quantum internet

Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem to reveal new properties of light waves
Physicists at Stevens Institute of Technology use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Credit: Stevens Institute of Technology…
A new ‘spin’ on ergodicity breaking
The researchers studied a C60 molecule, also called a buckyball, to understand how it could break ergodicity. Credit: Steven Burrows/Jun Ye and David Nesbitt In a recent Science paper, researchers…
Scientists identify mechanism that explains the characteristic properties of ‘strange metals’
A new theory explains the unusual behavior of strange metals, considered one of the greatest open challenges in condensed matter physics. The theory is based on two properties of strange…
