Rethinking reality: Is the entire universe a single quantum object?
In the face of new evidence, physicists are starting to view the cosmos not as made up of disparate layers, but as a quantum whole linked by entanglement

New type of ‘ultracold’ molecule ideal for quantum computing
Researchers have created a new type of “ultracold” molecule, using lasers to cool atoms to about one thousandth of degree above absolute zero using lasers and then gluing them together, a technology that might be applied to quantum computing, precise sensors, and advanced simulations.

D-Wave: Is $15m machine a glimpse of future computing?
A Canadian firm has courted controversy with its claim to have built a practical quantum computer, a feat thought to be decades away. Now, independent researchers are trying to understand whether it really can tap the strange world of quantum physics.

Scientists Report Finding Reliable Way to Teleport Data
Scientists in the Netherlands have moved a step closer to overriding one of Albert Einstein’s most famous objections to the implications of quantum mechanics, which he described as “spooky action at a distance.”

Teleportation Accomplished by Netherlands Physicists
Physicists at Delft University, Netherlands have teleported information. The teleportation took place over a distance of three meters (10 feet), and used a procedure called entanglement. The team achieved this teleportation with 100 percent reliability and without altering the pieces of matter. Teleportation of this nature has never been accomplished before outside of fiction.

Quantum bounce could make black holes explode
Black holes might end their lives by transforming into their exact opposite — 'white holes' that explosively pour all the material they ever swallowed into space, say two physicists. The suggestion, based on a speculative quantum theory of gravity, could solve a long-standing conundrum about whether black holes destroy information.

Quantum experiment could offer proof of a parallel world
From many-worlds to multiverses, physicists have had to come up with some pretty bizarre theories to explain the strange world of quantum mechanics, many of which sound less like science and more like science fiction. Now you can add parallel worlds to that list, according to Physorg.com.

Scientists Capture The Sound Of A Single Atom
What does an atom sound like? Apparently it's a "D-note." That's according to scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, who have revealed in a new study that they've captured the sound of a single atom.

The Experiment That Forever Changed How We Think About Reality
Is reality blurry or do we just see it that way? In the early days of quantum mechanics, Einstein and other scientists argued that our theories just weren't strong enough. But in this one case, Einstein was wrong and an experiment fundamentally changed how we view reality.

Understanding quantum tunnelling
Jon Butterworth: Quantum tunnelling sounds like science fiction, and does indeed feature there quite often. But it is real, and plays a role in nuclear fusion, chemical reactions and the fate of the universe. Here’s how it works

What It Means to Live in a Holographic Universe
When you look in the mirror, the image you see looks a lot like you—not exactly the same, because when you raise your right hand, your mirror-self raises its left. What’s more, the mirror image is merely an assemblage of reflected light, without a physical body behind it. Despite these differences, you can see an important connection between you and your reflection.
