Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

Light is both a wave and a particle – or so we have thought for about a hundred years. Since the advent of quantum physics, light has been understood to exhibit wave-particle duality. One part of this ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ Physicists use pulses of light in 37 dimensions to prove quantum paradox ” is published in The Brighter ...

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field’s inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies ...
