If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

The 2025 Homi Bhabha lecturer Rupamanjari Ghosh is a leading expert in quantum optics and a transformative figure in higher ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

Another major quantum computing record has been broken, and by a considerable margin: physicists have now built an array ...

When optical materials (molecules or solid-state semiconductors) are embedded in tiny photonic boxes, known as optical ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers at the Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon known as a superradiant phase transition (SRPT ...
