Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...

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

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.

A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in the former’s favor. A team of physicists in China have realized a ...

For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

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 ...

Abstract: Being elementary for quantum-physics and optoelectronics, here presented are the modified de Broglie wave-particle duality featuring the rest-energy-excluded frequency-determination energy ...

Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of the universe on tiny scales. However, some research has found that certain quantum behaviors, such as probabilistic outcomes and discrete energy states, can ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
