One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity. A new experiment may ...

The universe follows predictable rules, behaving classically according to Einstein’s theory of general relativity. So, what causes the shift from quantum oddities to the normal, classical behavior we ...

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

Quantum physics is a branch of science that studies the tiniest things in the universe, like atoms and the even smaller parts ...

Researchers investigating atomic-scale phenomena impacting next-generation electronic and quantum devices have captured the ...

In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

A test using atomic clocks will watch superpositions ride Earth’s curved space-time and see if Einstein can play nice with ...

IT is fitting that the year in which the Bohr theory comes of age should hear a pronouncement by its author on the view of Nature to which it has led. It is true that in one sense the ...

The continent that once gave birth to quantum theory—through Planck, Einstein, Schrödinger and Heisenberg—now risks being sidelined in the quantum age.
