The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

The molecular hydrogen ion H₂⁺ is the simplest molecule. This simplicity makes it a perfect study object for physicists, as ...

The paradigm of measurement-based quantum computation opens new experimental avenues to realizing a quantum computer, and also deepens our understanding of quantum physics. Measurement-based quantum ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A set of instructional materials was developed for the teaching of measurement, as part of a classroom innovation for science instruction.

Quantum physics is about multiplicity. Its equations describe multiple possible outcomes for a measurement in the subatomic realm. Physicists have devised a dozen or two different interpretations of ...

Electrons are really, really round. A new measurement confirms the subatomic particle’s spherical shape to a record level of exactness, physicists report in the July 7 Science. That near-perfect ...

Today, we can measure the position of an object with unprecedented accuracy, but the uncertainty principle places fundamental limits on our ability to measure. Noise that results from of the quantum ...
