Quantum mechanics has a way of sounding like pure philosophy until an experiment forces it into everyday language. In 2025, ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform ...

Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Trapped and squeezed: A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the centre of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light ...

The original paper by Kim et al. on the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser suggests the concept of retrocausality, which stems ...
