Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

One of the most important paradoxes in physics is Schrödinger's Cat. At the microscopic level, light and particles behave according to quantum mechanics. This allows them to be in two places at once ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

Why is quantum mechanics important? We are used to seeing the world at the macroscopic level. Our eye does not perceive what is really there at its microscopic level, and (maybe) it is better that way ...

Explore Google's breakthrough in quantum advantage, showcasing its Willow processor's ability to outperform supercomputers in ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

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 ...
