At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

Discovery of a strong quantum interference effect could spark advances in sensing, computing and next-gen technologies by harnessing wave interactions at the quantum level. (Nanowerk News) Just as ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Quantum interference, in particular, plays a key role. It occurs when different pathways that a molecule can take overlap, resulting in specific patterns of interaction: some pathways amplify each ...
