Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales—typically at the level of atoms, electrons, photons, and subatomic ...

Although the basic idea of quantum physics dates back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, it wasn’t until 1925, on the German island of Heligoland, that Werner Heisenberg had the ...

Probing photons inside a barrier also challenges a long-standing interpretation of quantum physics.

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which ...

If successful scientific theories can be thought of as cures for stubborn problems, quantum physics was the wonder drug of the 20 th century. It successfully explained phenomena such as ...

To merge quantum physics and general relativity, physicists aim to quantize gravity. But what if gravity isn’t quantum at all?

Three scientists who laid the groundwork for the understanding of the odd "entangling" behavior of quantum particles have received the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

Quantum distance refers to a measure of quantum mechanical similarity between two quantum states. A quantum distance of one means that the two quantum states are the same, whereas a quantum ...
