A new study demonstrates that transmitting quantum signals from Earth to a satellite is achievable, opening the door to more ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Quantum satellites currently beam entangled particles of light from space down to different ground stations for ultra-secure ...

Quantum entanglement lets particles stay connected, even when separated by vast distances. This strange link is crucial to building quantum computers and securing quantum communications. But it’s also ...

For years, scientists have imagined a future where secure quantum links circle the planet from space. Satellites would create ...
