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 ...

Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how quantum wave functions ...

Quantum mechanics is full of states that seem to defy ordinary sense, but one of its strangest ideas has usually been built ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, ...

A new debate in quantum physics is shaking the foundations of modern science. Tim Palmerargues that nature may not follow continuous mathematics at all. His theory questions irrational numbers, wave ...
