Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model ...

It looks like time travel, closed timelike curves, quantum mechanics, and quantum entanglement are once again at the centre ...

Over the last few years, optical atomic clocks have broken record after record in precision timekeeping. Atoms are cooled to ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age. Now, 100 years later, researchers across ...

Prof Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator explains emerging evidence supporting the cosmologist’s final thoughts on time ...

The biggest open problem in the foundations of physics is that Einstein’s theory of gravity, General Relativity, does not ...

Creating quantum entanglement inside a solid material is tricky in the lab – but crystals buried in the earth could be growing it naturally. Now one scientist says he has proof he’s found them ...
