Electrons stop acting like particles—and physics still works
Quantum physics shows that particles do not behave like solid objects with fixed locations. Instead, they act more like waves, which means their exact position in space cannot be precisely known. Even so, in many everyday situations, scientists can still describe particles in a familiar, classical way. They picture them as tiny objects moving through space with a specific speed.…

“Heavy” Electrons Hold the Key to a New Type of Quantum Computer
Scientists in Japan have uncovered quantum entanglement in “heavy fermions,” revealing electron behavior tied to Planckian time in a unique material. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Discovery of Planckian time limit offers new opportunities for quantum technologies. A collaborative team of researchers in Japan has identified “heavy fermions”—electrons with greatly increased effective mass—that display quantum entanglement controlled by Planckian time, the fundamental unit…
