Using a small quantum system consisting of three superconducting qubits, researchers have uncovered a link between aspects of classical and quantum physics thought to be unrelated: classical chaos and ...

Quasiparticles -- long-lived particle-like excitations -- are a cornerstone of quantum physics, with famous examples such as Cooper pairs in superconductivity and, recently, Dirac quasiparticles in ...

With simple arguments, researchers show that nature is complicated! Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have made a simple experiment that demonstrates that nature violates common sense – the ...

It is a matter for celebration when two illustrious theoreticians such as Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford provide an in-depth description of the fundamentals of classical physics. Modern Classical ...

Quantum space and time Physicists have developed no-go theorems that limit quantum processes in space–time causality. (Courtesy: iStock/piranka) Physicists have developed a new theoretical framework ...

Out with the old: Many undergraduate physics curricula need revamping. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Physics education has a high inertia towards change. While high-school students in today’s biology ...
