Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path. Notably, mediated entanglement represents a core principle of future experiments using massive particles, aiming to probe for the first time the quantumness of gravity.

In the mid-1920s, two absolute giants in the world of physics, Satyendra Nath Bose and Fast-forward some 70 years later, scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder proved Einstein and Bose correct. Since then, BECs have been a vital tool for exploring the quantum properties of atoms, and a series of advancementswhether getting the particles even cooler or getting them to form diatomic moleculeshave made them more and more useful in the search for the underlying physics that governs the universe

The Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) has invited Australians to join in recognising quantum, a branch of science which seems mysterious but underpins much of modern life. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology on June 7, chosen due to the century anniversary since the initial development of quantum mechanics.

Physicists have introduced the concept of magnetic quivers to analyze quantum field theories (QFTs), revealing new ways to visualize interactions and properties within these systems.
