The fabric of spacetime is roiling with vibrating quantum fields, known as vacuum energy. It's right there, everywhere we look. But could we ever get anything out of it? We can even calculate the ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers at the Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon known as a superradiant phase transition (SRPT ...

A team of physicists claims to have pulled energy out of a vacuum, Quanta reports — a trick that required them to teleport it from a different location using quantum tech. The work builds on previous ...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has achieved a milestone in quantum technologies, demonstrating for the first time the control of quantum randomness. The team of ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...
