One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

How then does a neutron star radiate into space even in the absence of anything to replenish the radiance? One of the ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Our universe has cracks, linking us to others, a quantum physics theory says. This opens the door to another version of you existing in some other ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, they produce unique effects not seen in individual particles. Understanding ...

The article on causality in quantum theory reminds us that, until an observer takes a measurement, we are confronted by a fog of possible alternatives and that the measurement will cause these ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...
