Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...

Quantum materials could transform technologies ranging from powerful computers and ultrasecure communications to advanced ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Understanding and reliably measuring the geometric properties of quantum states can shed new light on the intricate underpinning of various physical phenomena. The quantum geometric tensor (QGT) is a ...
