A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they can occupy several possible states at once, a phenomenon known as ...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While ...

Photo of the experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉⁢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were positioned on ...

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field's inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies ...

Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...

Between Gaithersburg and College Park, Maryland, a single strand of fiber optic cable hangs from utility poles along a route ...
