When an energetic quark travels through a “soup” of “free” quarks and gluons—the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—non-local quantum effects should cause it to scatter faster and at wider angles than expected…

Researchers use SPAD detector to achieve 3D quantum ghost imaging
Researchers developed a new approach that allows 3D measurements to be acquired with a computational imaging approach known as quantum ghost imaging. A SPAD array detector, shown on the left…
NASA’s space-based quantum science lab keeps getting better
A member of the Cold Atom Lab mission team works on the Quantum Observer Module. The lab is a quantum science facility that’s been operating on the International Space Station…
Scientists observe first evidence of ‘quantum superchemistry’ in the laboratory
Credit: John Zich A team from the University of Chicago has announced the first evidence for “quantum superchemistry”—a phenomenon where particles in the same quantum state undergo collective accelerated reactions.…
Calculations reveal high-resolution view of quarks inside protons
This graphic illustrates a proton moving at nearly the speed of light toward the viewer with its spin aligned along the horizontal direction (large arrow). The two views of concentric…
Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials
MIT researchers found a way to tune the spin density in diamond by applying an external laser or microwave beam. The finding could open new possibilities for advanced quantum devices.…
