Quantum mechanics has a concept called a "wave function." It's incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the ...

The heart of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: matter and light possess both wave-like and particle-like attributes. Typically, the wave-like properties are inferred indirectly from the ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

Learn more about quantum mechanics in this video. There are some pretty out-there explanations for the processes at work behind the incredibly successful mathematics of quantum mechanics - things are ...

A new version of quantum theory sweeps away the bizarre paradoxes of the microscopic world. The cost? Quantum information exists only in your imagination Flawlessly accounting for the behavior of ...

Under the Microscope: Surely one of the strangest ideas ever produced by science is the many-worlds interpretation of quantum… Under the Microscope:Surely one of the strangest ideas ever produced by ...
