Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Time crystals could one day provide a reliable foundation for ultra-precise quantum clocks, new mathematical analysis has revealed. Published in Physical Review Letters, the research was led by ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

For the first time in Cougar history, Brigham Young University students competed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist ...
