By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

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

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...

In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more ...
