Mostafa Fawzy became interested in physics in high school. It was the "elegance and paradox" of quantum theory that got his attention and led to his ...

Physicists at MIT have successfully measured the quantum geometry of electrons in solids, marking a pivotal moment in quantum research. This was achieved using an advanced adaptation of angle-resolved ...

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought experiment left unresolved. Now, a team of physicists at MIT has finally ...

Ever heard about quantum internet? No? Then Prof. Dr. Tim Schröder's inaugural lecture on February 6, 2024 is the ideal opportunity to find out more. In his lecture "Quantum physics and technology ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Strategy to measure the quantum geometric properties in condensed matter systems. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02678-8 MIT physicists and colleagues have for the first time ...

In a lab at MIT, researchers have harnessed the quantum properties of light to solve one of AI’s thorniest problems—how to protect sensitive data without undermining the power of modern deep-learning ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

This is the International Year of the Quantum, celebrating quantum science and its many applications. It also marks the centenary of Werner Heisenberg’s seminal work in modern physics. In recent years ...

“We can find real examples of quantum mechanics that even Einstein could never accept in our daily lives. Understanding quantum entanglement and quantum mechanics allows us to build a broader ...
