Building useful quantum technologies—from sensors to computers—requires generating highly complex entangled states, in which ...

A team at the University of Chicago has discovered a surprisingly simple way to create powerful quantum states that are normally difficult to produce. By making small adjustments to the energy levels ...

Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren't physically close to ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Creating quantum entanglement from scratch can be tricky business, so researchers are exploring ways that entangled pairs can “share” these states ...

Particles that don’t seem to be entangled have earned a high score on a famous test of entanglement. The experiment could offer a fresh look at what makes the quantum world so strange. Nearly 60 years ...

A tightly packed ball of office staples can be surprisingly strong.Try to pull it apart and the tangled metal resists like a solid object. But with the right movement or vibration, that same bundle ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have managed to entangle more than a dozen photons efficiently and in a defined way. They are thus creating a basis for a new type of quantum ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Superposition and entanglement together form the foundation of quantum computing. The former describes how qubits—the building blocks of quantum ...
