A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

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 ...

Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...
