This experiment, which has far-reaching implications for our understanding of gravity and quantum mechanics, is not just theoretical but practical. It serves as a critical juncture in the ongoing ...

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV.And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused.The field of quantum mechanics was ...

They can now control two quantum light sources instead of just one. While this might seem trivial to those unfamiliar with quantum mechanics, it's a monumental step forward.

But many of us don't even understand what quantum mechanics is — or how it's deepening our understanding of the universe. For today's installment of our series, "The Scientific Method," we ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, physicists are still debating the true nature of this strange theory - and ...

Parallel universes and quantum computing have been connected before, first by British physicist David Deutsch. However, this marked the first time that a major tech executive literally dubbed ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of ...

Quantum mechanics involves how things work at the subatomic level, while general relativity describes classical theory, which has aspects of what physicists call local realism, where things happen ...

Meanwhile in 2025 we celebrate 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, which lead to this powerful yet baffling computing style that can't even run Doom.

Quantum theory helped to explain how the energy levels of an atom split in a magnetic field, a phenomenon known as the Zeeman effect. Credit: Harsh Vardhan Dewangan/Shutterstock It is rare for a ...

Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means. Quantum mechanics depicts a counter ...
