A microscopic resonator stayed in one vibrational energy state before abruptly dropping to zero, exposing the quantum nature of sound.

Simulating the fundamental forces of nature on a computer is one of the grand challenges of modern physics, and a team at the ...

Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a reality, as ...

Quantum lattice gates could replace thousands of control cycles with one, reducing the time fragile quantum information stays ...

A quantum harmonic oscillator—a structure that can control the location and energy of quantum particles that could, in the future, be used to develop new technologies including OLEDs and miniature ...

Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology are macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile ...

Empty space is never actually truly empty. Even a quantum field in its lowest-energy state, the vacuum, has unavoidable fluctuations that arise from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: Certain pairs ...
