Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

Laurent Simons, 15, already earned a PhD in quantum physics, aiming to extend human life with ultracold science and AI ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a method to control Kelvin wave excitation in superfluid helium-4. This breakthrough can refine our understanding of how energy moves in quantum fluids, ...

Quantum physics is quietly rewriting the rulebook for how far and how fast humanity might travel beyond Earth. A cluster of ...

Recent advances in the study of quantum fluids and phase transitions on graphene have opened new avenues for understanding low-dimensional quantum phenomena and harnessing their potential for future ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

Scientists have created a giant quantum tornado inside a helium superfluid, and they want to use it to probe the enigmatic nature of black holes. The whirlpool — made from liquid helium cooled to near ...

Physicists have taken a gemstone better known for engagement rings and turned it into a laboratory for one of the strangest ideas in modern physics, a phase of matter that repeats in time instead of ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...

Quantum turbulence The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and ...
