What happens when the two most successful theories in science completely disagree? You get quantum gravity—a chaotic battlefield where time might not exist, and gravity behaves like a quantum ghost.

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 ...

It suggests your subjective experience might come from both your physical brain and the mysterious quantum activity within it.

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Physicists at MIT conducted a precise version of the renowned double slit quantum experiment, which challenges Einstein's objections to quantum mechanics. With the help of ultracold atoms and single ...

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously observed ...

A commemorative survey of quantum physicists revealed a lack of consensus on how best to interpret the strangeness of the quantum world. Credit: NSF/Daniel M. Harris, John W.M. Bush In July ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

Daisy’s riddles are among the toughest challenges in Tales of the Shire. The goal is to discover secret locations around Bywater, but with nothing to go by except cryptic poetry, it’s hard to pinpoint ...
