A research group led by Kusuki, The University of Tokyo Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Professor Hirosi Ooguri, and Caltech researcher Sridip Pal, has shown the universal features of quantum entanglement structures in higher dimensions by applying theoretical techniques developed in the field of particle physics to quantum information theory. The research team focused on th

Usually, light waves can pass through each other without any resistance. According to the laws of electrodynamics, two light beams can exist in the same place without influencing each other; they simply overlap. Light saber battles, as seen in science fiction films, would therefore be rather boring in reality.

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario.

Solar cells and computer chips need silicon layers that are as perfect as possible. Every imperfection in the crystalline structure of a silicon wafer increases the risk of reduced efficiency or defective switching processes. If you know how silicon atoms arrange themselves to form a crystal lattice on a thin surface, you gain fundamental insights into controlling crystal growth. To this end, a research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the University

Researchers from the CMS collaboration at DESY and the University of Hamburg have detected an unexpected excess of top quark-antiquark pairs at very low energies. This effect was first observed in the 2016 data and has been further reinforced by the analyses of 2017 and 2018 data. The results suggest that top quarks and their antiparticles may be able to combine into a short-lived bound state known as ‘toponium’. Until now, it was considered virtually impossible that such bon

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultrahigh magnetic fields via laser-driven implosions of blade-structured microtubes. This method achieves field strengths approaching one megatesla—a breakthrough in compact, high-field plasma science.
