Information is typically stored in physical systems, such as memory devices. But in a new study, physicists have investigated an alternative way to store and hide information, which is by storing it only in the quantum correlations ...
Researchers from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences have demonstrated, using a super-resolution microscopic technique, how to follow chemical reactions taking place in very small volumes. ...

For the first time, physicists have developed a method to visually image the entanglement between electrons. As these correlations play a prominent role in determining a molecule's wave function—which describes the molecule's ...
A "quantum material" that mimics a shark's ability to detect the minute electric fields of small prey has been shown to perform well in ocean-like conditions, with potential applications from defense to marine biology.
