Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Physicists at the Australian National University have observed pairs of atoms existing in two places at once for the first time, a result that extends one of quantum mechanics’ strangest properties ...

When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of energy takes place between the molecule and the atoms composing the surface. But beneath this dizzying complexity, quantum mechanics, which ...

In a paper published in Nature Photonics, the research team from the Center for Quantum Information and Communication – Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles of Université libre de Bruxelles, has found an ...
