Caltech Scientists Stretch Quantum Memory Lifetimes 30x in Major Leap
Caltech scientists developed a hybrid quantum memory that stores qubit states 30 times longer by converting them into sound waves. The method, using mechanical oscillators at gigahertz frequencies, reduces energy loss and shows scalability potential. Published in Nature Physics, the breakthrough marks a step toward practical, long-term storage for ...

Single Quantum Device Measures Amperes, Volts, and Ohms in New Discovery
Scientists at NIST have developed a quantum device that measures amperes, volts, and ohms within a single system for the first time. Reported in Nature Electronics, the breakthrough uses two integrated quantum standards to achieve unmatched accuracy. The innovation could transform electrical measurements across research, technology, and diagnostics...

MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Famous Double-Slit Quantum Experiment
MIT scientists have conducted the most precise version of the double-slit quantum experiment using ultracold atoms. The findings support Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and challenge Einstein’s belief in deterministic realism. The experiment offers robust evidence for quantum indeterminacy and reinforces Bell’s theorem, ...

Quantum Tech Could Finally Let Astronomers Snap Direct Images of Earth-Like Exoplanets
Astronomers are harnessing quantum mechanics to build a coronagraph that could directly image Earth-like exoplanets previously obscured by stellar glare. By sorting light waves at the photon level, the device bypasses traditional diffraction limits, revealing faint planetary signals. This breakthrough may redefine how scientists explore distant wor...

What If Everything You Know About Time Is Wrong? New Study Reveals Shocking Possibility
A new study by the University of Surrey proposes that time might flow in both forward and backward directions at the quantum level, challenging our traditional understanding of time's arrow.

Quantum Research Reveals Time May Not Always Move Forward
A new study on quantum systems suggests time might not always move forward. Researchers found that time-reversal symmetry persists in open quantum systems, challenging the traditional notion of a single directional arrow of time. The mathematical framework behind these interactions indicates that fundamental equations do not impose a distinction be...

Physicists Predict Exotic ‘Paraparticles’ Defying Fermion and Boson Classifications
A new class of particles, called paraparticles, has been proposed by physicists, breaking the conventional boundaries of fermions and bosons. This theoretical discovery could reshape our understanding of quantum mechanics, offering possible applications in quantum computing. The model suggests that paraparticles have unique properties that could he...

Scientists Demonstrate Negative Time in Quantum Experiments at Toronto Lab
University of Toronto researchers observed “negative time” in photons through quantum experiments. Led by physicist Daniela Angulo, the study measured interactions between light and matter, revealing energy state changes in less than zero duration. While it challenges traditional time concepts, the findings remain consistent with Einstein's rel...

India-UK Team Proposes Experiment to Test Quantum Behaviour of Gravity with Diamond Crystals
An India-UK physics team led by Professor Sougato Bose from UCL has proposed a ground-breaking experiment to determine if gravity follows quantum mechanics, like other fundamental forces. Using a table-top setup, they aim to measure gravitational interactions between two nanodiamonds. The study, requiring cutting-edge technology, could take 10-15 y...

New Research Could Resolve Stephen Hawking's Black Hole Radiation Paradox
Recent research indicates that black holes may actually be “frozen stars,” complex quantum objects that lack the typical singularities and event horizons of conventional black holes. This theory, led by physicist Ramy Brustein from Ben-Gurion University, aims to resolve Stephen Hawking's famous radiation paradox, which suggests information is l...

Single Molecule Transistor Developed with Mechanical Control for Faster Electronics
Researchers at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, led by Dr. Atindra Nath Pal and Biswajit Pabi, have developed a groundbreaking transistor that utilises single molecules controlled by mechanical forces. Using the mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique, they created a transistor with a single ferrocene molecule.

Blog | Presenting Gulzar, A Poet Who Embraced Quantum Mechanics Like No Other
A bulk of Gulzar saab's unexplored philosophical insights far exceed his filmography, poetry, and writings. What is often missed in his language and poetics are his metaphors from quantum mechanics.

New Quantum Cryptography Method Could Provide More Secure Encryption
Researchers at National University of Singapore have implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography which would make the encryption immune to hacking. In the new study, scientists conducted an experiment where they used two mechanically entangled rubidium atoms. They excited both particles with a laser pulse and after which they fell into the...

Scientists Find Way to Measure Mechanical Quantum Systems Without Breaking It Down
Scientists have discovered a new technique for recording quantum non-demolition measurements. This technique involves mechanical quantum systems – objects relatively large in quantum computing terms but otherwise exceedingly tiny.
