But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

Nature survey shows that disagreement about the meaning of quantum physics remains strong, even 100 years in. And that’s OK.

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot ...

Scientists propose a groundbreaking experiment using quantum computers and atomic clocks to test whether gravity alters the ...

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 ...

“We live in a quantum world, as far as the experiments we do can tell,” Joseph Schindler, a co-author of the study from Autonomous University of Barcelona, said to New Scientist.

In some ways, death doesn't exist in quantum mechanics. No wonder Albert Einstein thought it made no sense at all, even if the math added up.

Columnist and Physics Why John Stewart Bell has been haunting quantum mechanics for decades The “Bell test” was devised in the 1960s to uncover what’s going on in the quantum world, but it ...

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 ...

NIST performed one of the first complete experimental Bell tests in 2015, which firmly established that quantum mechanics is truly random. In 2018, NIST pioneered methods to use these Bell tests ...
