Superfluid helium reveals a manageable analog to the Schwinger effect. It deepens understanding of vortices and quantum tunneling. In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger proposed that applying a constant electric field to a vacuum could cause electron-positron pairs to emerge spontaneously, a process known as quantum tunneling. Why can’t this matter from nothing idea power Star [...]| SciTechDaily

When a book is a classic of the field it can be easy to forget to review it. Richard Feynman's 1985 QED is one of the best-thumbed books on my shelves, and still in print - so it seemed sensible to cover it. Because Feynman has a number of books with his name on the cover from his remarkable anecdotes in Surely You are Joking Mister Feynman? to the anything-but-popular-science Red Book (The Feynman Lectures on Physics), it can be a surprise to realise that he never wrote a book per se. What ...| Popular Science Books

Quantum computers could one day outperform traditional machines at many types of tasks, but hurdles remain. Now, physicists in Japan have successfully entangled groups of three silicon quantum dots for the first time, in a breakthrough that could help make quantum computers more practical.| New Atlas
