A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Establishing a new quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics design principle based on electronic-state responses.

Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it -- an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

UNESCO as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Recognizing 100 years since Heisenberg, Born, Jordan and ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

The foundations of quantum mechanics rest upon a rich tapestry of experimental discoveries and theoretical insights that revolutionised our understanding of nature at the microscopic scale. At its ...
