Latest about quantum physics
Stunning image shows atoms transforming into quantum waves — just as Schrödinger predicted
A new imaging technique, which captured frozen lithium atoms transforming into quantum waves, could be used to probe some of the most poorly understood aspects of the quantum world.
Quantum mechanics: Definitions, axioms, and key concepts of quantum physics
Reference Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.
Tweak to Schrödinger's cat equation could unite Einstein's relativity and quantum mechanics, study hints
Physicists have proposed modifications to the infamous Schrödinger's cat paradox that could help explain why quantum particles can exist in more than one state simultaneously, while large objects (like the universe) seemingly cannot.
Scientists made the coldest large molecule on record — and it has a super strange chemical bond
A four-atom molecule has broken the record for coldest large molecule.
CERN proposes $17 billion particle smasher that would be 3 times bigger than the Large Hadron Collider
CERN's proposed $17 billion particle collider would search for new and unknown physics, but it has drawn fire for its hefty price tag.
Cosmic strings can break — and when they do, they shake the universe
Many models of the universe predict the existence of countless invisible strings stretching across space. New research finds a way these strings might snap — and how we could feel the fallout.
Hubble Telescope captures a galaxy's 'forbidden' light in stunning new image
The Hubble Telescope viewed a distant galaxy whose light appears to contradict some of the most common rules of quantum physics.
World's largest gravitational wave observatory squeezes light beyond the 'quantum limit'
Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise.
