A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

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 ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.
