For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
