For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A rewarding book that offers a cogent look at the science’s history and the second quantum revolution that’s under way ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

The death of US computer scientist and physicist Edward Fredkin this June went largely unnoticed, except for a belated obituary in the New York Times. Yet despite never quite becoming the household ...
