Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from 'orderly' to 'random,' as shown through research using large-scale computations on ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Imagine a physicist observing a quantum system whose behavior is akin to a coin toss: it could come up heads or tails. They perform the quantum coin toss and see heads. Could they be certain that ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...
