Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computing by solving complex problems that stump even today's fastest ...

Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Left: The first lines of the letter sent by Werner Heisenberg to Wolfgang Pauli on 9 July 1925, explaining his efforts to interpret quantum physics ...

Alternative deterministic interpretation generally predicts the same results as standard theories – but maybe not this time ...

This world is governed by the rules and laws of classical physics. However, quantum mechanics sheds light on another realm of ...

A new study shows entanglement can be reversed—if you plug in a quantum battery. The finding rewrites the rules of the ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, ...
