A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Alyssa Ney is professor and chair of metaphysics at the Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and Religious Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany. This week, physicists are ...

Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from 'orderly' to 'random,' as shown through research using large-scale computations on ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

During his Ph.D. at UMass, Nikhil Malvankar was laser-focused on quantum mechanics and the movement of electrons in ...

What happens when matter transitions from one phase to another—a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas? Describing these critical points precisely, in solvable mathematical terms, is no simple feat.

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...
