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 ...

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

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 ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

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

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

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 ...

Scientists developed a theory linking mobile and static behaviors of a particle in a Fermi sea, explaining quasiparticles and ...

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