An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

According to the theory, our reality is encoded on the boundary of a black hole within a much larger universe.

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...
