By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...
