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 ...

Quantum mechanics remains a cornerstone of modern physics, and its extension to systems with a position-dependent mass (PDM) has emerged as a vibrant area of research. In conventional quantum ...

Huw Price has received funding from the Australian Research Council and the Leverhulme Trust. Ken Wharton does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization ...

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 ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. "The concept of time has troubled philosophers and physicists for ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

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 ...

Quantum dynamics in Schrödinger operators lies at the heart of modern theoretical physics, marrying quantum theory with advanced mathematical analysis to elucidate the evolution of disordered and ...

Quasi-normal modes, namely the complex frequencies encoding the linear response of resonators under tiny perturbations, have acquired major importance in recent years in different settings of physics, ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...
