Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Many World’s lack wavefunction collapse might be the key to the measurement problem. The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Google’s latest Doodle celebrates World Quantum Day. Quantum computers are one of Google’s big research projects, but the fundamentals can be hard to communicate. For today’s Doodle, Google uses a ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

A century ago, a group of scientists in Europe began developing a theory to explain how the world’s smallest particles interact. Their discoveries underpinned a new branch of physics and laid the ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
