A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

Saturday Night Fever: you may remember the dance performed by John Travolta and Karen-Lynn Gorney to the Bee Gees song (1) ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical ...

Controlling quantum states with high precision—and entangling particles—has long been the goal of researchers pushing the boundaries of quantum technology. Although great strides have been made across ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Quantum teleportation, once a staple of sci-fi lore, is now edging closer to scientific fact. What seemed impossible a decade ago is now happening in laboratories, thanks to rapid advances in quantum ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...
