Quantum Entanglement

Physicists at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology say they have observed a new form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum of photons confined in nanoscale structures.

A new device enables remote entanglement, allowing distant quantum processors to communicate with one another with reduced error rates.

The Japanese singer-songwriter's new album goes deep on their "fascination with science." WIRED Japan took Hikaru Utada to visit the Large Hadron Collider to learn more.

A recent study has realized multipartite entanglement on an optical chip for the first time, constituting a significant advance for scalable quantum information. The paper, titled "Continuous-variable multipartite entanglement in an integrated microcomb," is published in Nature.

What you experience as the linear passage of time might be more like a stable shadow of reality rather than fundamental reality itself, scientists say.

Quantum computation + quantum sensing = a new way to think about measurement on the tiniest scale, say researchers.

This solution could not only help submarines sense where they are without risking exposure, but also elevate a tactical advantage in anti-submarine warfare and intelligence-gathering.

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic particles' entropy.

Joppe Bos designs encryption that even quantum computers can't crack

Quantum trickery is improving the resolution of X-ray images while reducing the radiation dose, say scientists.

The largest number of logical qubits has been linked through quantum entanglement, which is a key step towards quantum computers that can detect and correct errors

Physicist whose silicon devices helped to unlock the secrets of the earliest fractions of a second of our universe

People with MIT ties who received honors from the American Physical Society for 2024-25 include two MIT faculty, a graduate student, and 10 additional alumni. Four faculty, one senior researcher, and seven alumni were named APS Fellows.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory received 15 R&D 100 Awards for 2024. The "Oscars of Innovation" recognized the technologies for their ability to map the ocean floor and the brain, prevent heat stroke and cognitive injury, expand AI processing and quantum system capabilities, and introduce new fabrication approaches.

Although systems consisting of many interacting small particles can be highly complex and chaotic, some can nonetheless be described using simple theories. Does this also pertain to the world of quantum physics?

Unlike classical encryption, which relies on mathematical algorithms, quantum encryption assures security based on physical principles. Detection of espionage or interference is guaranteed by unavoidable alteration of the quantum states involved.

Quantum computers have the potential to crack many of the encryption methods we currently rely on to keep our digital communications safe. Quantum-resistant cryptography may be the answer

Researchers wish to probe whether consciousness has a basis in quantum mechanical phenomena
