Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Quantum entanglement has shifted from a philosophical puzzle to a design brief for engineers working at the scale of atoms, ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...

A team of Caltech scientists has fabricated a superconducting qubit on a chip and connected it to a tiny device that scientists call a mechanical oscillator. Essentially a miniature tuning fork, the ...
