Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

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 ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

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, ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

RICHARD FEYNMAN, one of the 20th century’s greatest physicists, once quipped, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Appropriately, then, a certain sense of bemusement ...

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 ...

Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it -- an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at ...
