I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the discovery of quantum mechanics in 1925 that we celebrate here. So I’ll ...

The basic hydrogen atom is the simplest of all atoms, now known to consist of a single proton and a single electron. Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on Bohr ...

Computers rule the world. We use them in our offices, our factories, and in our smartphones. In research and industry, ...

Masaki Kashiwara is the first Japanese person to be awarded the most prestigious prize in mathematics. Mathematician Masaki Kashiwara has won the 2025 Abel Prize, the Norwegian Academy of Science and ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU ...

To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics ... which explains the stability of the nucleus at the heart of the atom; and the weak nuclear force, which explains ...

Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible loss of energy and that is ...

Researchers have found they can create quantum cat states at warmer temperatures, making these systems more robust to noise.

Currently, quantum computing poses little threat to Bitcoin due to its infancy. Today's most advanced quantum machines have ...

However, as things get closer to the realm of quantum mechanics, some theories that claim to offer a theory of quantum gravity ... based platform that uses atom interferometers to constrain ...

Once described by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance,” quantum entanglement may now seem less intimidating in light of new research findings. Osaka Metropolitan University physicists ...
