New research has demonstrated for the first time a single molecule that works as a bridge between quantum spin and light. A carbene molecule embedded in a crystal shines brightly and preserves quantum information for milliseconds at -269°C. This is a breakthrough for building quantum networks, where

Mass currents have now been introduced into the Diósi–Penrose wave function collapse model for the first time, adding post-Newtonian corrections from general relativity. It turns out that moving mass generates gravitomagnetic noise, causing angular momentum decoherence. The most dramatic effects app

Scientists have calculated how a massive rotating sphere can make a passing particle be in two places at once—a hallmark of quantum gravity. The effect, predicted by Einstein, is like a spoon dragging through honey. A tabletop experiment using this frame-dragging will show for the first time that gr
