Scientists have finally unlocked a way to identify the elusive W state of quantum entanglement, solving a decades-old problem ...

Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a test, but rather the physical stresses that affect everyday objects.

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

A commemorative survey of quantum physicists revealed a lack of consensus on how best to interpret the strangeness of the quantum world. Credit: NSF/Daniel M. Harris, John W.M. Bush In July ...

Quantum mechanics, and classical mechanics, are framework theories that incorporate many different concrete theories which in general cannot be arranged in a neat hierarchy, but discussion of 'the ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. Dubbed CURBy, ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
