You don’t need to be a math genius to start learning quantum physics; many books break it down simply. There are books that ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Quantum immortality is a controversial and fascinating concept that emerges from the interpretations of quantum mechanics, suggesting that consciousness could survive beyond physical death in an ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

Scientists have succeeded in making light behave like a "supersolid" for the first time—a breakthrough that could improve our understanding of this exotic phase of matter. A supersolid has an ordered ...

As a trained physicist and now a university president, I am doubly excited by the acceleration in quantum computing and the possibilities quantum thinking offers for elevated understanding, innovation ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

A team including CU PREP researchers and scientists from CU Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. Dubbed CURBy, ...

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 ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843. But in his ...
