Even the most chaotic quantum systems keep a permanent mark of their own past—a "quantum birthmark"—that never fades.

Physicists at the University of Oldenburg have generated fully three-dimensional light fields from two intersecting ...

Electrons moving across the surface of a topological insulator do more than carry electric charge. Their quantum states also ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...

Physicists have unveiled a new quantum state, a realm where electrons behave in a way previously unseen. This breakthrough, announced on November 17, 2025, marks a significant stride in the ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

Most magnets have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a familiar arrangement called a "dipole." But ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago have uncovered a surprising quantum state in the layered magnetic material Fe5GeTe2, where huge numbers of electrons move together unusually slowly while ...

Traditional computational approaches make the problem manageable by stripping away much of that real-material complexity.

The oscillating electromagnetic fields that carry light can cause electrons to tunnel back and forth through a potential energy barrier. Remarkably, this alternating current can coherently emit ...

Selected among only 21 scientists nationwide, Li will be exploring quantum phenomena in atomically thin materials.

An international team of researchers witnessed a strange phenomenon of quantum physics in Z bosons, massive particles that vanish almost as soon as they appear.
