Researchers Disclose Quantum States by Measuring Their Classical Fingerprint

Scientists from CQT and Caltech have found out that the entire entangled states of a two-particle system possess a classical fingerprint. The discovery can assist engineers to eliminate errors and fix devices that do not perform as expected in quantum cryptography and quantum computing.

Fuji Pigment Develops Large-Scale Production Process for Silicon Quantum Dots

Quantum dots are extremely tiny man-made nanoparticles typically between 10 to 10000 atoms (1 to 10 nanometers) in diameter, which is smaller than 1/10000 th the width of a human hair. However, the effects of this extreme small size cannot be ignored.

Scientists Develop Magnetic Switch that Controls Mysterious Quantum Behavior

When a ballerina pirouettes, twirling a full revolution, she looks just as she did when she started. But for electrons and other subatomic particles, which follow the rules of quantum theory, that’s not necessarily so. When an electron moves around a closed path, ending up where it began, its physical state may or may not be the same as when it left.

OIST Researchers Find a Way to Create Quantum Necklace-Like Structures in Superfluids

The quantum world is both elegant and mysterious. It is a sphere of existence where the laws of physics experienced in everyday life are broken—particles can exist in two places at once, they can react to each other over vast distances, and they themselves seem confused over whether they are particles or waves.

Massive Dying Star Reborn as Black Hole

For the first time in history, astronomers have been able to watch as a dying star was reborn as a black hole.

Researchers Create Biggest Simulations to Uncover Structure and History of the Galaxy

Thousands of processors, terabytes of data, and months of computing time have helped a group of researchers in Germany create some of the largest and highest resolution simulations ever made of galaxies like our Milky Way.

New Kind of Galaxy Creates Stars Hundred Times Faster than Milky Way

A team of astronomers including Carnegie's Eduardo Bañados and led by Roberto Decarli of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has discovered a new kind of galaxy which, although extremely old--formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang--creates stars more than a hundred times faster than our own Milky Way.

Researchers Demonstrate First Ever Quantized Magneto-Electric Effect in Topological Insulators

A light wave sent through empty space always oscillates in the same direction. However, certain materials can be used to rotate the direction in which the light is oscillating when placed in a magnetic field. This is known as a 'magneto-optical' effect.

CERN Scientists Set Strict Limits Regarding Axions-Photons Interaction

Axions are particles whose hypothetical existence was introduced in 1977 by Roberto Peccei and Helen Quinn. The particles have been the talk of the town lately because their existence could largely explain so-called dark matter.

Study Shows Magnetic Order can be Created in a Two-Dimensional Chessboard Lattice

A research goal, for a short period, focused on attaining magnetic order in low-dimensional systems comprising of one or two dimensions. In a recent study featured in the journal Nature Communications, Uppsala researchers demonstrate that magnetic order can be produced in a two-dimensional chessboard lattice made up of organometallic molecules that are only one atomic layer in thickness.
