Oxford scientists have simulated light interacting with “empty” space—a strange quantum effect that sounds like science ...

If you could sit perfectly still in a patch of space far from any stars, planets, or particles — utter emptiness — you might ...

Classical physics predicts that light beams pass through each other undisturbed. But quantum mechanics holds that even what ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state of its entangled pair regardless of distance. This strange fact flies in ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD), a cryptographic technique rooted in quantum physics principles, has shown significant ...

Empty spaces in the dark only appear to be complete voids. Even intergalactic space (in the absence of dust particles) has a ...

By controlling individual atoms, researchers have demonstrated a way to turn previously unwanted atomic motion into an ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in ...

Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking quantum interferometry tool that achieves nanometer-scale precision in challenging ...
