Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

At 15, a Belgian prodigy finishes a quantum physics PhD and turns to AI-driven medicine, raising an unexpected question about ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...
