We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a ...
A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.
In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there’s no actual evidence—yet. Albert Einstein believed space ...
Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...
The notion of dimension at first seems intuitive. Glancing out the window we might see a crow sitting atop a cramped flagpole experiencing zero dimensions, a robin on a telephone wire constrained to ...
A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since ...

Researchers have discovered new ways to shape quantum light, creating high-dimensional states that can carry much more ...
