Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is one of the most successful mathematical and empirical theories of the last century. As a picture of elementary particles, it has led to stunning predictions, like the ...

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

THIS modestly named volume is in fact a comprehensive treatise covering the whole subject of quantum mechanics. It summarizes the relevant basic discoveries of Planck, Compton, Einstein and Bohr in ...

Imagine building a better clock — with entangled atoms. Sound difficult? Not for Monika Schleier-Smith, associate professor of physics at Stanford University and 2020 MacArthur Fellow. Schleier-Smith ...

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

In day to day life, we intuitively understand how the world works. Drop a glass and it will smash to the floor. Push a wagon and it will roll along. Walk to a wall and you can't walk through it. There ...
