Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new ...

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and reveal the ultimate fuzziness of time ...

World Quantum Day aims to engage the public in understanding quantum science and its impact on our daily lives and future innovations. Markus Winkler: Pexels As scientists and the public mark World ...

In a world first, scientists have experimentally verified the entanglement of the momentum of atoms, a feat previously only achieved with photons. Scientists from Australia and the U.S. pulled off ...

Over a decade ago, when I was first starting to pretend I could write about quantum mechanics, I covered a truly bizarre experiment. One half of a pair of entangled photons was sent through a device ...

Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in which an object exists in a haze of possible locations at once. A team ...

Are you a multitasker, a free spirit, or an overly optimistic planner? Experts say these are some of the traits that explain why some people are always running behind. Some people just seem wired to ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have developed a groundbreaking method to rapidly generate quantum superpositions, known as NOON states, using a combination of geometry and quantum control.

Most people are left confounded and flummoxed when presented with the most basic concepts of quantum mechanics. That’s because they make no sense to any rational mind, so please don’t take this ...
