Quantum physics throws all the rules of classical physics out the window. In the quantum world, particles can pass through solid walls, be in two places at once, and communicate over an infinite distance. And, if a handful of physicists are right, the…

Quantum entanglement, a decidedly weird effect influencing the realm of the incredibly small, may apply to the “real world” but that does not mean it is easy to see. After all, we are talking about individual pairs of particles here. Two new papers, b…

An international collaboration and a newly published paper may have just settled a century old physics debate. Quantum mechanics is spooky. Entanglement – a component of quantum mechanics – tells us that two particles can be directly connected even a…

Okay, here's the thing. There is no fourth dimension. Mind not blown by that? How about this - there is no third dimension either. Before you start yelling at your smartphone about how the Universe is made up of three dimensions, just settle down …

If you've read anything about quantum computers, you may have encountered the statement, "It's like computing with zero and one at the same time." That's sort of true, but what makes quantum computers exciting is something spooki…
