We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the fact that those e ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but columnist Jacklin Kwan finds that it’s not exactly ruled out in the quantum realm ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Quantum computing is nearing the point of practical use, but scientists still need to make some specific breakthroughs.

Chicago’s south side has reinvented itself before; knowing this history can change its future.

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Montana State's QCORE quantum center has received a $31.5 million Air Force grant, making it one of seven global institutions ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...
