Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

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 ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

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 ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

Bridging quantum mechanics and crystallography, quantum crystallography offers precise analysis of crystalline materials, impacting various scientific fields.
