Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Researchers experiment exploited an uncanny feature of the quantum vacuum: It isn't really empty at all.

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

An international research team has placed quantum light emitters onto silicon chips with roughly 90% success by using tiny ...

According to a new theory, our universe developed from a “pre-inflationary multiverse” made of particles in quantum ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Physicists have used an ion collider to see matter emerging from the vacuum after smashing together energetic subatomic particles. The vacuum was once thought to be “empty” or “nothing”. But the ...

It feels like just yesterday we were talking about quantum computing as some far-off future tech, but here we are in 2026, and things are moving at warp speed. One of the most exciting developments is ...

Illustration of photon-photon scattering in the laboratory. Two green petawatt lasers beams collide at the focus with a third red beam to polarise the quantum vacuum. This allows a fourth blue laser ...
