A century ago, physics had its Darwinian moment — a change in perspective that was as consequential for the physical sciences ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

"This feels like we have our finger right on the knob of quantum mechanics," Feldman said. "It's an aspect of quantum mechanics that we didn't know about or, at least, we didn't appreciate before ...

Did these researchers truly just crack our fundamental concepts of (quantum) physics wide open? As it turns out, not really. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that photons aren’t little ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a crucial step is skipped because it has puzzled scientists since the ...

At least, that is what’s going on if you happen to subscribe to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory. First proposed more than 65 years ago, the idea is that reality is constantly ...

Quantum computing offers the potential to solve complex problems faster than classical computers by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. Significant advancements have been made in areas ...

Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology is macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile ...

a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the ...

By using the uncertainty of quantum mechanics, the computers operate differently than traditional transistor-based systems, allowing a user to figure out problems instantly that would take a ...

a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the ... Dec. 17, 2024 — String theory remains elusive as a 'provable ...

That's because the unusual properties of quantum mechanics mean that simulating these systems on a classical computer quickly becomes intractable as they get larger, said Simon Benjamin ...
