As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...
