Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to ...

A breakthrough optical design allows quantum computers to read information in parallel, a key step toward building ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...
