Scientists uncover secrets of black holes using quantum computing and machine learning, revealing new insights into space, ...

A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their ...

Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Looking back, the rapidity with which quantum mechanics took shape is striking. The equivalence of the matrix and wave formulations was established in the spring of 1926, unleashing a string of ...

New quantum computing research reveals that black holes may not have chaotic singularities but structured quantum states, ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...

Quantum Mechanics is a strange world, indeed. Everyday things that we take for granted, things like cause-and-effect and elementary classical laws do not work in the world inside the atom.

While this premise offers a streamlined explanation for quantum mechanics, it introduces a ... property where dynamic behavior follows random matrix theory. This approach builds on the ideas ...

The researchers formally specified quantum circuits in Maude, as a series of quantum gates and measurement applications, represented as basic matrix operations using laws of quantum mechanics with ...

But is such an outcome inevitable? A new study, relying on the “many worlds interpretation” of quantum mechanics—along with a concept known as “decoherent histories”—shows that ...
