Physicists working at the world’s largest gravitational wave observatory have cooled their apparatus to near absolute zero in a bid to explore the so-called "quantum limit," or the point at which the ...

When a quantum system is at its lowest possible energy, it is said that it is in its ground state. This state has now almost been achieved for a human-scale object, the largest yet. Physicists have ...

Oscillating object: the new protocol evaluates the Leggett–Garg inequality without the need for creating a macroscopic quantum state. (Courtesy: Shutterstock ...

Physicists are exploring a quantum-mechanical approach to making smaller radio wave detectors. Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of ...

Quantum delocalization In an artistic rendering, a silica nanoparticle is held by laser light. The uncertainty in the particle’s position spreads and recompresses (blue trajectories), illustrating ...
