Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to ...

Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

What really happens in the quantum world? In this conversation, physicist Sean Carroll explores some of the deepest mysteries in quantum mechanics: the famous double-slit experiment, wave function ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, could solve some problems that ...

Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow of time and ...

Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

This was another great breakthrough in how we see the universe. Energy and very little matter are not continuous but occurred in interval bursts called quanta. Hence the name. Electrons jump from ...

The world of quantum video games is vast – there are hundreds that are either inspired by quantum mechanics or use quantum computers in their development. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan explores ...

Quantum mechanics has long relied on complex numbers to describe the strange behavior of particles, from tunneling to ...
