Scientists are using anesthesia to probe the quantum roots of consciousness—and the research offers tantalizing evidence.

A team of researchers at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has reconstructed one of Albert Einstein’s most famous attempts to poke holes in quantum theory, and the results land ...

In this video, we explore the meaning of quantum physics and the true nature of reality through key concepts in quantum ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Three quantum researchers were presented with the Nobel Prize in Stockholm on 10 December. Meanwhile, this year marked the ...

Physicists have created a Schrödinger's cat state at unusually hot temperatures, and it could be a major step toward the development of practical quantum computers. Schrödinger's cat states exist in ...

A new experiment could in principle test the quantumness of an object regardless of its mass or energy. An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK ...

In 1971, graduate student Stuart Freedman and postdoctoral fellow John Clauser took over a room in the sub-basement of Birge Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and built an experiment ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American This was supposed to be an action-packed ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...
