Laurent Simons became one of the world’s youngest PhD recipients in November, earning a doctorate in quantum physics from the ...

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

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

At just 15, Belgian prodigy Laurent Simons earned a PhD in quantum physics, demonstrating exceptional academic prowess. He ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...
