For over a century, quantum mechanics has challenged our established notions of physics. At its core are questions that unsettle our understanding of the universe: when does a quantum particle ...

For nearly a century, some of the strangest questions in physics have revolved around how quantum objects move, interact and share information in ways that defy everyday intuition. Now a cluster of ...

Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

A team of physicists has taken quantum weirdness to new heights by measuring a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. Their ...

Convention has it that quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously – so say scientists at the University of Twente (“UT”), The Netherlands. But now, in a new journal paper, UT ...
