Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the "light-induced phase" of matter and predicts its novel functionalities.

Quantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). In an article published in ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

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 ...

For much of the early 20th century, quantum mechanics was one of the most puzzling ideas in science. The theory challenged conventional thinking and ...

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and reveal the ultimate fuzziness of time ...

TU Wien has detected strong quantum entanglement for the first time in a centimeter-sized crystal of a strange metal.

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

“EINSTEIN attacks quantum theory.” That was the headline in The New York Times on 4 May 1935. The world’s most famous scientist and two collaborators had discovered what they saw as a fatal flaw at ...
