Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible loss of energy and that is typically linked to decoherence. Decoherence, or the loss of coherence, occurs ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

Attosecond time-resolved experiments have revealed the increasing importance of electronic correlations in the collective plasmon response as the size of the system decreases to sub-nm scales. The ...

Quantifying correlation and entanglement between molecular orbitals can elucidate the role of quantum effects in strongly correlated reaction processes. However, accurately storing the wavefunction ...

Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) has rapidly become a cornerstone of precision molecular detection, offering unparalleled resolution, broad spectral coverage, and fast acquisition speed. From fundamental ...

An experiment with a toy universe made up of extremely cold atoms shows how time can emerge from quantum interactions, instead of existing by default ...

Chirality, the asymmetry of an object and its mirror image, widely exists in nature and has a key role in the essential laws of physics, chemical reactions 1, biological structures, nanoscience 2 and ...

Devices like lasers and other semiconductor-based technologies operate on the principles of quantum mechanics, but they only scratch the surface. To fully exploit quantum phenomena, scientists are ...

A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online on August 5, in ...

Defining security in quantum key distribution with Carla Ferradini, Martin Sandfuchs, and Renato Renner The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is quantified by a parameter ε >0, which—under ...
