It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more ...
The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

This quantum gas breaks classical rules, and physicists love it
Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...
Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...
The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...
Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...
In the pantheon of modern physics, few figures can match the quiet authority of Gerard ’t Hooft. The theoretical physicist, now a professor emeritus at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has spent ...
Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.
