A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more mathematics than measurement. A new proposal for a tabletop experiment now suggests ...

Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different semiconductor quantum dot light sources located several metres apart.

Controlling quantum states with high precision—and entangling particles—has long been the goal of researchers pushing the boundaries of quantum technology. Although great strides have been made across ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...
