One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

The attempt to unite all natural phenomena within a single system has been a human preoccupation since time immemorial. For Heinrich Päs it is a question of theoretical physics—trying to explain how ...

The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

A recent study published in an online issue of Physical Review Research examines the connections between the different properties of light, specifically pertaining to whether light acts as a wave or ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
