Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a picture of our reality – or even whether that is possible ...

“The unique nature of this award lends itself to Dr. Vishveshwara’s strengths as an accomplished artist and physicist,” said Michael Moloney, CEO of AIP. “The way she uses storytelling to communicate ...

The past and future are tightly linked in conventional quantum mechanics. A tweak could let quantum possibilities increase as space expands.

Rather than choosing between the two, a layered “defense-in-depth” strategy is rapidly becoming the gold standard. Combining ...

Uncertainty reigns The discovery of quantum uncertainty was what first impressed the world with the depth of the quantum revolution. German physicist Werner Heisenberg, in 1927, astounded the ...

Founded in fall 2023, the Cornell Quantum Computing Association (QCA) pushes the boundaries of student research in the field ...
