Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Quantum effects are the surprising and often counterintuitive phenomena that occur at the nanoscale, where the laws of classical physics break down and the principles of quantum mechanics dominate.

Researchers have proposed a new way of using quantum light to 'see' quantum sound. A new paper reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known as photons, in ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have proposed a new way of using quantum light to ‘see’ quantum sound. A new paper published today reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between ...
