For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Viruses exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter, while skin is a living interface between physics and ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

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 ...
