I first fell in love with Salem in Istanbul, Turkey. We were both journalists and dreamed of seeing the world, and being the ones to witness and document history as it happened. There was just one problem: Salem was from Syria with a passport that essentially meant he was stuck in the Middle East. I was a U.S. citizen with the privilege to travel as I pleased.  While this was not a problem at first, it reared its ugly head when Salem was kicked out of the country—and deported to Iraq. Over the years, our journey together has been shaped…

Quantum microscopists: Postdoctoral researcher Zhe He and team leader Lihong Wang in the laboratory. (Courtesy: Caltech) Since the inception of quantum mechanics, physicists have sought to understand its repercussions for our universe.

Instead, its state is intrinsically correlated with the state of the other(s), even if the particles are separated by large distances. As a result, a measurement performed on a particle in an isolated location…
