Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Quantum entanglement can link two objects even when they are separated by extremely large distances. But a new study has found a limit at which such quantum correlations stop – and surprisingly, ...

So, what exactly is quantum theory in chemistry? It’s basically the set of ideas that explain how atoms and molecules behave at a really, really tiny level. Think smaller than you can even imagine.

In honor of Einstein's birthday, we're revisiting a 2013 conversation with physicist and author A. Douglas Stone about ...

In the strange world of quantum mechanics, objects can exist in several states at once. This concept, called superposition, is one of the most puzzling features of quantum theory. A particle, for ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Now, some folks are looking at quantum physics, specifically something called quantum entanglement, to see if it offers any ...
