A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

Champaign have developed a new theoretical framework that could dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of predicting chemical reaction energetics without sacrificing accuracy. Led by chemical and ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

An NV center consists of a nitrogen atom replacing a carbon atom and an adjacent vacancy where a carbon atom is missing. "The NV center defect has a few properties, one of which is a degree of freedom ...

What might the second quantum revolution mean for science, technology and our understanding of reality itself?

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures.

Reliably quantifying and characterizing the quantum states of various systems is highly advantageous for both quantum physics ...
