Researchers have proposed a new way of using quantum light to 'see' quantum sound. A new paper reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known as photons, in ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have invented an innovative way for different types of quantum technology to “talk” to each other using sound. The study, ...

Quantum effects are the surprising and often counterintuitive phenomena that occur at the nanoscale, where the laws of classical physics break down and the principles of quantum mechanics dominate.

Generally, biology and quantum mechanics are discussed separately. There seems to be no connection between the two, but 80 years ago, legendary physicist Erwin Schrödinger hinted that biological ...

The interference of sound waves is not just of academic interest. For instance, it is the operating principle of noise-cancelling headphones. These create their own sound vibrations, which are tuned ...

Quantum effects are becoming more pronounced at the most advanced nodes, causing unusual and sometimes unexpected changes in how electronic devices and signals behave. Quantum effects typically occur ...

Bose-Einstein condensates have been cooled to a record 0.5 nanoKelvin, but the entropy of these gases are relatively high, meaning half the gas is normal, not quantum. Physicists have now found a way ...

Taken from the January 2021 issue of Physics World where it appeared under the headline "The light of the mind". The role of biophotons in the brain is a growing area of research in neurobiology – and ...
