Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time self-induced superradiance in quantum particles, completely flipping what ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...
