In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced ...

Finding out what the universe is actually made of remains one of the ultimate ...

The purpose of this work is to explore precise solutions, particularly soliton solutions, by fractionally analyzing the multicomponent Gross–Pitaevskii problem, a basic nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Quantum cat states built from intrinsically nonclassical components have been demonstrated by Oxford physicists in a trapped ...

It has been known since the 1960s that the quantum statistical properties of light have a role in optical processes 3. For example, when more than one photon is required to ionize an atom, random ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

Lines of momentarily flat water extend outward and rotate, in the opposite direction to the flow of the vortex. The left video shows the pattern from the experiment, while the right video shows the ...

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, but cannot be seen, in the quantum realm. (Nanowerk News) In the quirky, ...
