The arrow of time is a staple of human perception. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day, you live it. If you spill a drink, you can’t reverse time and pull the liquid back into the ...

There’s a lot we don’t understand about quantum systems. But over the past century, physicists have found ways to exploit the many oddities of quantum mechanics to their liking—including a new ...

What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction—from past to future—time could flow forward or backwards due to processes taking place at the quantum level ...

For over a century, scientists have thought of time as a fundamental property of the universe. But the more researchers seek to understand time’s ultimate nature and the mechanics behind its emergence ...

(via Big Think) Dr. Robert Hazen, staff scientist at the Earth and Planets Laboratory of Carnegie Science in Washington, DC, thinks that a single arrow of time may be too limiting. A second arrow, ...

In the beginning, there was no quantum entanglement. That is the conclusion of a study exploring the so-called entanglement past hypothesis. The finding is part of a quantum reinvention of our notions ...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...
