Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

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

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...
