Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

Physicists found bizarre metal-like behavior in an insulator at extreme magnetic fields, revealing quantum oscillations deep ...

Known as earthquake lights, these luminous phenomena have left geologists and physicists searching for answers. Typically ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

Alphabet's Echoes algorithm just achieved a major quantum AI breakthrough. Elon Musk says Alphabet's achievement is making quantum computing more relevant. Despite Google's progress, other quantum ...

Quantum oscillations are like the rhythmic dance of electrons in a metal when exposed to a magnetic field. By applying a magnetic field, researchers can change the speed with which those electron ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern ...

Scientists use entanglement, aka 'spooky action at a distance,' to build a quantum sensor so sensitive it approaches the ...
