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 ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
