Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, ...

Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

Time feels familiar. It marks every moment of daily life, from the ticking of a wall clock to the changing numbers on a ...

Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side effect of quantum entanglement. A new study challenges the traditional idea ...

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of interaction and communication. Around one hundred publications on the topic are ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

Ronald Hanson is at QuTech and the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, Delft 2628 CJ, the Netherlands. The authors show that for a 10-km fibre link, entanglement between ...
