Quantum particles are known to be strange or even “spooky.” But can those properties ever be useful? A new study proves that one type of wackiness—entanglement between identical particles—has ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Two different concepts of distinguishability are often mixed up in attempts to derive in quantum mechanics the (anti)symmetry of the wave ...

What is interaction and when does it occur? Intuition suggests that the necessary condition for the interaction of independently created particles is their direct touch or contact through physical ...

Non abelian-anyons' recollection of their past has enabled physicists to weave them into complex entangled designs with new behaviors. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Physicists have created a one dimensional gas out of light particles for the first time. Studying how the photon gas behaves could help researchers discover some yet-unknown quantum optical effects.
