Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama themselves. A new theoretical framework now flips that script, treating space ...

Their framework, outlined in a paper published in Nature Physics, specifically proposes the construction of quantum codes that are defined on spheres. "In graduate school, I was part of a team of ...

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems.

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have stubbornly resisted every attempt to bring them under one roof. A new geodesic-based ...

In any experiment, specifying a physical quantity of interest always relies on a reference frame. For example, identifying the time at which an event happens only makes sense relative to a clock.

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna present a new framework for ...
