Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images

Scientists at Caltech have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the resolution of images without damaging the sample… Continue reading Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images

World’s heaviest “Schrödinger’s cat” pushes quantum boundaries

An artist's impression of

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date, probing the boundaries between quantum and classical physics.

Physicists discover completely new type of quantum entanglement

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider experiments, the new entanglement allowed scientists … Continue reading Physicists discover completely new type of quantum entanglement

Traversable wormhole recreated in a quantum computer for first time

Wormholes are a staple of sci-fi, and there’s a possibility that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, teleporting information between two quantum syst… Continue reading Traversable wormhole recreated in a quantum computer for first time

Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to quantum entanglement experimentalists

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for their work in pioneering quantum information science. Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger all conducted some of the first experiments with entangled photons, enablin… Continue reading Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to quantum entanglement experimentalists

Ultrathin metasurface produces web of quantum entangled photons

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a precisely patterned surface 100 times thinner than paper, … Continue reading Ultrathin metasurface produces web of quantum entangled photons

Oxford physicists create network of quantum-entangled atomic clocks

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to approach the fundamental limit of precision set by quan… Continue reading Oxford physicists create network of quantum-entangled atomic clocks

Quantum entanglement record set with largest cluster of photons so far

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique could be a boon for quantum computers.Continue Readi… Continue reading Quantum entanglement record set with largest cluster of photons so far

Record-setting quantum entanglement connects two atoms across 20 miles

Researchers in Germany have demonstrated quantum entanglement of two atoms separated by 33 km (20.5 miles) of fiber optics. This is a record distance for this kind of communication and marks a breakthrough towards a fast and secure quantum internet.Con… Continue reading Record-setting quantum entanglement connects two atoms across 20 miles

“Quantum flute” gets light moving in way never seen before

Scientists have created a “quantum flute” that can coax photons to move in sync and interact with each other, which they almost never do in nature. The device could help improve future quantum computer designs.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, Science… Continue reading “Quantum flute” gets light moving in way never seen before
