A laser pulse glanced off a rubidium atom and entered the quantum world — taking on the weird physics of Schrödinger's cat.
Bizarre Superfluid Could Explain the Existence of the Modern Universe
Back in the first moment of the universe, everything was hot and dense and in perfect balance. A new quantum experiment aims to show how that changed.
Physicists Built a Machine That Breaks the Normal Rules of Light
Physicists have built a ring in which pulses of light whip circles around each other and the normal rules that govern light's behavior stop applying.
