A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox describes how quantum theory cannot be described by local ...

Quantum theory is a mind-bending idea, suggesting that, at the subatomic level, particles can exist in multiple states at the same time. Scientists often give the example of physicist Erwin ...

The idea of a particle that races faster than light has long fascinated physicists. Known as the tachyon, it was originally dreamed up to help untangle paradoxes in quantum theory and relativity.

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay between quantum theory and thermodynamics.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine standing on a railway platform watching a trolley go past. A girl on the trolley drops a bright red ball. To her, the ball falls ...

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 ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
