Tiny quantum drumhead sends sound with 1-in-a-million loss—poised to rewrite tech
When a drummer plays a drum, she sets the drumhead into vibration by hitting it. The vibration contains a signal that we can decode as music. When the drumhead stops…
Breakthrough battery lets physicists reverse entanglement—and rewrite quantum law
Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum…

Photons Collide in the Void: Quantum Simulation Creates Light Out of Nothing
Using advanced computational modelling, a research team led by the University of Oxford, working in partnership with the Instituto Superior Técnico in the University of Lisbon, has achieved the first-ever…
Scientists freeze quantum motion using ultrafast laser trick
Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. However, these excited states decay rapidly once the excitation is removed, limiting their practical applications. A team…
Physicists uncover hidden order in the quantum world through deconfined quantum critical points
In the intricate world of quantum physics, where particles interact in ways that seem to defy the standard rules of space and time, lies a profound mystery that continues to…
Researchers demonstrate the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure communication over a quantum network
Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK’s first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of data over a quantum communications network, including the UK’s first long-distance quantum-secured video call. The team, from the Universities…
Engineering quantum entanglement at the nanoscale
Physicists have spent more than a century measuring and making sense of the strange ways that photons, electrons, and other subatomic particles interact at extremely small scales. Engineers have spent…
