The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our classical world.

A strong contender is wavelet theory, a mathematical framework that powers image and video compression across the digital universe.

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the inspiration that marked the true dawn of quantum theory.

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope revealed Jupiter’s moons and shook the geocentric universe.

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately, this key characteristic of quantum mechanics defies ...

Quantum entanglement, the invisible connection between particles that entwines them in such a way that they act as one, has fascinated scientists for decades. It is also one of the most important ingredients for technologies to come—quantum computers,

A new study explores how EOS transmits ultrashort laser pulses through crystals that change in response to an applied electric field. This technique allows researchers to accurately capture the shape and timing of electric fields across a broad range of ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never done
