Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

The “minute” on your phone is not a natural thing. Nothing in the sky divides an hour into 60 equal parts. Humans invented ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...
