The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

One of the most important paradoxes in physics is Schrödinger's Cat. At the microscopic level, light and particles behave according to quantum mechanics. This allows them to be in two places at once ...

Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

Physicists at CERN — home of the Large Hadron Collider — have for the first time made a qubit from antimatter, holding an antiproton in a state of quantum superposition for almost a minute. This ...

A visualization of the variational entanglement witness (VEW) scheme. Left: Many quantum states wait to be evaluated. Each state is analyzed one by one using the VEW method. Right: Based on the ...

One of the particles acts as a thermometer and the whole system is simulated on the computer. Credit: TU Wien One of the particles acts as a thermometer and the whole system is simulated on the ...

Quantum computers are able to solve complex calculations that would take traditional computers thousands of years in just a few minutes. What if that analytical power is turned inwards towards the ...
