For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and out of superposition. A new line of work now argues that this picture is ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...
