The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

Quantum mechanics has a concept called a “wave function.” It’s incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

The heart of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: matter and light possess both wave-like and particle-like attributes. Typically, the wave-like properties are inferred indirectly from the ...

The Born rule, which connects the math of quantum theory to the outcomes of experiments, has been derived from simpler physical principles. The new work promises to give researchers a better grip on ...

A new version of quantum theory sweeps away the bizarre paradoxes of the microscopic world. The cost? Quantum information exists only in your imagination Flawlessly accounting for the behavior of ...

Journal of Coastal Research, SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 103. Global Topics and New Trends in Coastal Research: Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering (SUMMER 2020), pp. 839-842 (4 pages) In order to improve the ...

The Copenhagen Interpretation: This interpretation is a little bit like quantum physics’ answer to the old Zen question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a ...

Quantum computing, secure wireless communication and advances in quantum teleportation could be closer to reality now that a team of researchers has developed a more efficient way of measuring wave ...

Terrifying ocean Devastating freak waves the size of a 10-storey building can be more common than previously thought, say researchers. The findings, by civil engineer Dr Alessandro Toffoli, of ...
