Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

For decades, theoretical physics has struggled to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The primary obstacle is the assumption that spacetime is a smooth, continuous fabric, which leads ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Leaders operating in dynamic business environments can draw inspiration from quantum principles as metaphors for navigating ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic ...

I have been to more scientific conferences than I care to count, but a recent meeting held on the island of Helgoland to celebrate the centenary of quantum mechanics is one of the strangest – in a ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...
