A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...
