Quantum Breakthrough Observed as Scientists Define Photon Shape for the First Time
In a major scientific achievement, researchers at the University of Birmingham have defined the shape of a single photon for the first time. The study reveals how photons interact with their surroundings and emit energy, providing new insights into quantum physics. This work opens avenues for innovations in nanophotonic technologies, such as improv...

India-UK Team Proposes Experiment to Test Quantum Behaviour of Gravity with Diamond Crystals
An India-UK physics team led by Professor Sougato Bose from UCL has proposed a ground-breaking experiment to determine if gravity follows quantum mechanics, like other fundamental forces. Using a table-top setup, they aim to measure gravitational interactions between two nanodiamonds. The study, requiring cutting-edge technology, could take 10-15 y...

Inside China's Underground Lab Tasked With Solving A Physics Mystery
A giant sphere 700 m (2,300 ft) underground with thousands of light-detecting tubes will be sealed in a 12-storey cylindrical pool of water in coming months for an experiment that will shine new light on elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos.

New Research Could Resolve Stephen Hawking's Black Hole Radiation Paradox
Recent research indicates that black holes may actually be “frozen stars,” complex quantum objects that lack the typical singularities and event horizons of conventional black holes. This theory, led by physicist Ramy Brustein from Ben-Gurion University, aims to resolve Stephen Hawking's famous radiation paradox, which suggests information is l...

Quantum Computer Startup SEEQC Unveils Digital Chip for Super Cold Temperatures
New York-based quantum computer startup SEEQC said on Wednesday it has developed a digital chip that can operate at temperatures colder than outer space so it can be used with quantum processors that are often in cryogenic chambers. Quantum computers, based on quantum physics, have the potential one day to complete some calculations millions of tim...

This New Phase of Matter Will Help Make Quantum Computers More Stable and Error-Free
A team of physicists have managed to make a stunning discovery in quantum computing. By shining pulsed lights on qubits, the equivalent of computer bits in quantum theory, scientists observed a new phase of matter that seemed to occupy two different time dimensions instead of one. This new phase of matter allows qubits to remain much more stable.
