Symmetries play a fundamental role in our understanding of physics. It is widely believed that the most general symmetry transformations in quantum theory correspond to unitary or anti-unitary ...

A study on the quantum processes titled "Time-reversal-based quantum metrology with many-body entangled states" has been published in the journal Nature Physics. Researchers from the Massachusetts ...

Supersymmetry in a three-dimensional topological superconductor: Ising magnetic fluctuations (denoted by red arrows) at the boundary couple to the fermions (blue cone). UC Santa Barbara physicist ...

Physicists at MIT are turning time backward to study quantum phenomena. The process uses alternating lasers to entangle and disentangle atoms. When reversed, the atoms show up to 15x magnified ...

Light that strikes a new and improved mirror is always returned to sender. South Korean physicists have created a composite mirror, made up of about a thousand tiny reflectors, that coaxes light waves ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Guanglei Cheng from the CAS Key Laboratory of Microscale Magnetic Resonance at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved a breakthrough ...
