At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...
