Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Being a quantum pioneer is turning out to be an expensive experiment. Quantum is still years away from widespread enterprise ROI. In late 2024, a major pharmaceutical company invested $50 million in ...

Over the past 50 years, astronomers have made dozens of major discoveries that help explain the nature and origins of the universe. They’ve measured the cosmic microwave background, or leftover ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a Nature survey reveals. At an event to mark the 100th anniversary of quantum ...

Lately, I've been obsessively reading posts about quantum physics on the question and answer site Quora, where ordinary dullards such as myself ask questions like, "How is it possible for an electron ...

Carriers of information come in different forms and behave differently. Think of ink on newspapers, sound waves in classrooms and pixels on TV, monitors and smartphones. Think of tiny transistors on ...
