Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ...

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

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of ...

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

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Technology Quantum computers are surprisingly random – but that's a good thing While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics ...

While quantum mechanics explains the small-scale, low-energy behavior of electrons, relativity becomes important when those same electrons move fast enough for strange effects like spin-orbit coupling ...

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 ...

For more than a decade, scientists have been investigating ways to develop a “quantum battery” that stores energy using photons rather than electrons or ions. While quantum batteries—thanks ...
