The study of quantum dynamics in conjunction with nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) sits at the confluence of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and nonlinear analysis. This field ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In our lived reality, we perceive time as a linear progression moving in one direction. While today gives way to tomorrow and the ...

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 ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

Physicists affiliated with Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Joint Quantum Institute, NIST, and the University of Maryland have proposed a feedback-driven quantum engine that can statistically ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
