The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and ...

Quantum key distribution promises ultra-secure communication by using the strange rules of quantum physics to detect eavesdroppers instantly. But even the most secure quantum link can falter if the ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

Researchers have controlled a temporary stable phase in the system, offering a possible avenue for preserving quantum ...

Graphic illustrating the difference in energy between running a quantum clock (left: a single electron hopping between two nanoscale regions) and reading the ticks of the clock (right). The energy ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.
