A new Physical Review Letters study places constraints on the ER = EPR conjecture, showing that under the authors' assumptions, the conjecture would imply possible alterations to the hyperfine ...

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes how matter and energy behave at atomic, molecular, and nanoscale dimensions, where particles can act like waves, energies become quantized, ...

Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H 2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully demonstrated the control of the nuclear spin of a hydrogen molecule (H2) using dry ice. This simple ability to control the quantum state of a ...

The seeds of quantum theory were sown by Albert Einstein and others as early as 1905. But the theory came together properly 100 years ago in 1925 – and has exerted its influence ever since, as this ...
