Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

"The quantum internet represents a paradigm shift in how we think about secure global communication," said David Awschalom, the Liew Family Professor in Molecular Engineering and Physics at the ...

There are very basic laws of physics going on all around ... only have multiples of a standard "quantum" of energy. Eventually scientists realized this explained why some materials are conductors ...

One of the key aspects of nanophysics is the dominance of quantum effects at the nanoscale. As the size of a material approaches the nanometer range, the laws of classical physics begin to break down, ...

Recent physics studies have discovered that quarks and gluons inside protons, which are subatomic positively charged ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that ...

A "theory of everything" that encompasses both general relativity and quantum physics has thwarted the efforts of minds as great as Stephen Hawking, and even Einstein himself. One of the major ...

The Quantum Hall Effect was first observed in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985. It occurs in two-dimensional electron gases found in ...

Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible loss of energy and that is ...
