The new photonic computer Jiuzhang 4.0 pushes photons through a network of microchannels and uses photometry—precise counting of light flashes—to record the final pattern. This pattern is beyond any ordinary computer: it would require sifting through more possibilities than atoms in the universe. Th

In pilot-wave theory, particles follow clear trajectories, like surfers on waves. By reconstructing photon trajectories in the double-slit experiment, physicists saw something strange: in the dark fringes, the particle's mass behaved like a tachyon's — becoming imaginary. This is the first direct ev

Quantum batteries charge quickly but easily lose energy. In a new study, scientists used two sources of wave coherence — inside the charger and in a specially "squeezed" environment. Their combined effect creates a dark state that locks in energy, making the battery immune to leaks.
