Scientists Demonstrate Experimental Simulation of Unruh Effect Using NMR Quantum Simulator

The two major pillars of modern physics are relativity theory and quantum mechanics, and several new phenomena have been discovered with their combination. For example, a major outcome of the quantum field theory is the Unruh effect, which acts as a critical tool to study a number of phenomena, including particles that are thermally emitted from cosmological horizons and black holes.

New Model Proposed by SDU Researchers for What Dark Matter Might Be

Dark matter is all around us. Though no one has ever seen it, and no one knows what it really is, indisputable physical calculations state that approximately 27% of the universe is dark matter. Only five % is the matter of which all known materials consist; from the smallest ant to the largest galaxy.

New Technique to Detect Presence or Absence of Individual Electrons with Unprecedented Accuracy

Scientists from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have demonstrated the ability to detect the presence or absence of individual electrons with unprecedented accuracy.

Prototype Lab Aims to Measure Big Bang Neutrinos with Unprecedented Precision

Big Bang neutrinos are believed to be everywhere in the universe but have never been seen. As the oldest known witnesses or relics of the early universe, these subatomic particles could shed new light on the birth of the cosmos if scientists could pin them down. That's a tall order since these ghostly particles can speed through planets as if they were empty space.

Delayed-Choice Experiments Bring Further Insights into Quantum Physics

Since the 17th century, science was intrigued by the nature of light. Isaac Newton was certain that it consists of a stream of particles. His contemporary Christiaan Huygens, however, argued that light is a wave. Modern quantum physics says that both were right.

Researchers Demonstrate Generation of Multiphoton Entangled Qubit States on Optical Chip

The optical chip developed at INRS by Prof. Roberto Morandotti’s team overcomes a number of obstacles in the development of quantum computers, which are expected to revolutionize information processing. The international research team has demonstrated that on-chip quantum frequency combs can be used to simultaneously generate multiphoton entangled quantum bit (qubit) states.
