STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mark A. Novotny, a Mississippi State University William L. Giles Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy, will explore the complex world of quantum mechanics and its rapidly ...

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 ...

Idzerda is now director of the MonArk Quantum Foundry, a partnership between MSU and the University of Arkansas whose mission is to accelerate research for quantum technologies in the U.S. As a new ...

A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online in Physical ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

Fay Dowker is a theoretical physicist at Imperial College London, UK, and at the Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Canada. Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...
