Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn't how fast calculations can be done—it's how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn't rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...

Scientists have observed an extraordinary quantum phenomenon inside tiny semiconductor crystals, revealing a synchronized ...

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...

In the realm of quantum mechanics, the ability to observe and control quantum phenomena at room temperature has long been elusive, especially on a large or "macroscopic" scale. Traditionally, such ...
