For over 100 years now, quantum mechanics has rattled the cage of everything we’ve believed we know about physics. Is everything just made of wiggles and waves if you look close enough? How far can ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum dimensions at the same time, and they can make it do the trick on demand. The result ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. optic fibres with different colours of light A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity. Now a new theoretical study pushes that weirdness into even stranger territory. It ...

Quantum physicists are notoriously divided when it comes to the correct interpretation of the equations that are used to describe quantum goings-on. But in the new thought experiment, no view of the ...

In anti-Klein tunneling, sound waves bounce back as if hitting an invisible wall; in Klein tunneling, they pass through the barrier effortlessly—as if the wall isn’t there at all. In a groundbreaking ...

My new article, ‘Quantum Entanglement of Optical Photons: The First Experiment, 1964-67’, is intended to convey the spirit of a small research project that reaches into uncharted territory. The ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics has challenged our established notions of physics. At its core are questions that unsettle our understanding of the universe: when does a quantum particle ...
