When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated a new type of quantum interaction using a single trapped ion. By ...

Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a reality, as ...

A team of physicists led by Samuli Autti at Aalto University in Finland has, for the first time, connected a time crystal to ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated a new type of quantum interaction using a single trapped ion. By creating and controlling increasingly complex forms of “squeezing” – ...

Scientists have successfully achieved a quantum collective behavior of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, unlocking new possibilities in quantum technology. Quantum technologies are radically ...

A once-theoretical quantum interaction has been achieved in a breakthrough laboratory experiment by University of Oxford ...

A strange kind of matter that “ticks” forever without energy input has just taken a major leap toward real-world use. Known ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic textbook systems into deep conceptual traps. That long stalemate is now ...
