For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of ...

Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard, winners of this year’s Turing Award, spent their lives touting the advantages of the ...

You can say the universe has a split personality. Or better said, our physical models of the universe are the ones fractured.

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that evolve with time. What role did this equation play inthe so-called ...

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than their internal states. Since atoms’ momentum can be affected by gravity, this ...

In honor of Einstein's birthday, we're revisiting a 2013 conversation with physicist and author A. Douglas Stone about ...

Leggett later switched to theoretical condensed-matter physics, and rapidly made the subject of macroscopic quantum phenomena his own. Only eight years after his PhD, he created a remarkably intuitive ...

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 ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in ...

According to the team, the new approach can explain how the universe's initial inflation can naturally arise. But it comes ...
