At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for reversing time in a quantum system, achieving an average fidelity of more than 95% ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both mass and energy can move freely without friction or energy loss. In everyday ...

And then it got me.” A handful of decades and an MIT physics doctorate later, Tan is the chief science officer (CSO) of ...
