Measurement in quantum mechanics presents unique challenges. Observing one particle in an entangled pair determines the states of both, leading to critical inquiries: What constitutes a ‘measurement,’ and how does it influence our understanding of reality?

The complex mathematics underpinning quantum mechanics — incorporating concepts like Hilbert spaces, wave functions, and operators — can be intimidating, rendering entanglement less accessible to many.

Simply put, quantum entanglement is just too complicated for most people to fully understand. It defies classical intuitions, involves sophisticated mathematics, and urges us to reevaluate our understanding of reality.

A team of scientists in the United States has achieved a notable milestone in the domain of superconductors. This progress may have considerable consequences for the future of quantum computing.

The research details the development of a novel superconductor material that has the potential to transform quantum computing and potentially function as a “topological superconductor.”

A topological superconductor is a special kind of material that exhibits superconductivity (zero electrical resistance) and also has unique properties related to its shape or topology.

Dark energy is not limited to outer space, many solid materials around us also contain electrons hidden in dark states.

Until now scientists believed that dark electrons, electrons associated with the quantum state of matter, simply don’t exist in solid materials.

However, a new study from…


A new study from researchers at South Korea’s Yonsei University reveals that solid materials do contain dark electrons. The finding will also allow scientists to develop novel superconductor materials.

To introduce quantum networks into the marketplace, engineers must overcome the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and ensure the efficiency of signal delivery. Now, scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have taken a large step forward by operating just such a network under the streets of New York City.

My new article, “Quantum Entanglement of Optical Photons: The First Experiment, 1964–67,” is intended to convey the spirit of a small research project that reaches into uncharted territory. The article breaks with tradition, as it offers a first-person account of the strategy and challenges of the experiment, as well as an interpretation of the final result and its significance. In this guest editorial, I will introduce the subject and also attempt to illuminate the question “What is a paradox?”
