Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side ...

Quantum mechanics is underpinned by a variety of models that elucidate the interplay between particles and potentials. Among these, point interactions – often mathematically represented by Dirac ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny ...

The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...

Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical ...

Quantum computing just got a significant boost thanks to researchers at the University of Osaka, who developed a much more efficient way to create "magic states" a key component for ...

Scientists suggest quantum entanglement in myelin sheaths generates consciousness, offering a groundbreaking new perspective on brain function and cognition.

In two-dimensional materials and at low temperatures the quantum mechanical nature of this phenomenon is evident as a series of steps in the Hall voltage with increasing applied magnetic field.

Stay tuned to the Physics World quantum channel for more IYQ content throughout the year. You can already enjoy a blog series from Matin Durrani, reporting from the tiny North Sea archipelago ...
