Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

In this video, we delve into quantum entanglement, famously described as “spooky action at a distance” by Albert Einstein.

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

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 ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science. Reading time 6 minutes The use of the word “quantum” has become ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...
