A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

The approach enables objective and automatic determination of the quantum-mechanical region based on electronic-state changes ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

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

The study of quantum mechanics already has helped lead to the invention of transistors, lasers and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRIs, in health care. Now, the first U.S. Quantum Information Science ...

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 ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses quantum mechanics to ensure secure communication between two parties. Despite being one ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

Quantum computers are designed to solve complex problems outside the scope of classic computing. Classic computers use ...
