Interior of protons is maximally entangled
Fragments of the interior of a proton have been shown by scientists from Mexico and Poland to exhibit maximum quantum entanglement. The discovery, already confronted with experimental data, allows us to suppose that in some respects the physics of th.....»»
Researchers set new bounds on the mass of leptoquarks
At the most fundamental level, matter is made up of two types of particles: leptons, such as the electron, and quarks, which combine to form protons, neutrons and other composite particles. Under the Standard Model of particle physics, both leptons a.....»»
Researchers create entangled photons 100 times more efficiently than previously possible
Super-fast quantum computers and communication devices could revolutionize countless aspects of our lives—but first, researchers need a fast, efficient source of the entangled pairs of photons such systems use to transmit and manipulate information.....»»
MIT created a new type of atomic clock that measures entangled atoms
But as with most things in life, there’s always room for improvement......»»
Quantum interference in time
Since the very beginning of quantum physics, a hundred years ago, it has been known that all particles in the universe fall into two categories: fermions and bosons. For instance, the protons found in atomic nuclei are fermions, while bosons include.....»»
Is there a way to detect strange quark stars even though they look like white dwarfs?
Matter is built around quarks, forming the nuclei of the atoms and molecules. While there are six types of quarks, regular matter contains only two: up quarks and down quarks. Protons contain two ups and a down, while neutrons contain two downs and a.....»»
