Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

Modern physics is weird. In quantum mechanics we have the Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment, a cat in a quantum ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

Werner Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle describes one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics: certain pairs of physical quantities describing a particle, such as position and ...

The Laboratory team’s quantum “demon” uses information about a quantum system’s state and measurement results to drive similarly unusual processes, reversing the usual arrow of time in a quantum ...

When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of ...

Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow of time and ...

The passage of time may be nothing more than an illusion that emerges from the quantum interactions between different parts of the universe – at least, this is true in a toy model of the cosmos. The ...

Imperial researchers are now planning these systems as part of an international push to create a new generation of quantum ...
