Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation have long provided fundamental insights into quantum mechanics by furnishing explicit analytical expressions for wave functions and energy spectra. These ...

British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...
