An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The quantum world has a reputation for being elusive, but physicists are now starting to watch it unfold in real time. For the first time, researchers have directly imaged the restless motion of atoms ...

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot questions in quantum theory. Reading time 4 minutes In July 1925—exactly a ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

A new proof has emerged, confirming the universal speed limit on quantum relaxation, and providing new insights on how it works Which conditions does the Universal quantum relaxation rate require?

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
