To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics, the basic mathematical framework that underpins it all, which was first developed in the 1920s by Niels Bohr ...

A kind of umbilical cord between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

The research was done by Caltech’s Clifford Cheung and Aaron Hillman along with Grant Remmen at New York University. They ...

Researchers saw a chain of atoms in a quantum simulator go from being magnetic to not magnetic at all, the first time such a ...
