Transmission electron microscope image and film stack of a magnetic tunnel junction with a multilayered ferromagnetic structure. Interfacial anisotropy is enhanced by increasing the number of ...

In the world of quantum mechanics, particles can behave like waves. This wave-like nature is crucial for understanding quantum tunnelling. Imagine a tiny particle, like an electron, approaching a hill ...

Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel Devoret and American John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for putting quantum mechanics into action and enabling the development of all kinds of ...

The interplay between quantum tunnelling and dynamical systems continues to reshape our understanding of microscopic behaviour and non‐linear dynamics. Quantum tunnelling – the counterintuitive ...

Quantum mechanical effects such as radioactive decay, or more generally: 'tunneling', display intriguing mathematical patterns. Researchers now show that a 40-year-old mathematical discovery can be ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...
