Why is quantum mechanics important? We are used to seeing the world at the macroscopic level. Our eye does not perceive what is really there at its microscopic level, and (maybe) it is better that way ...

Quantum mechanics shows that particles in our universe do not have fixed properties like everyday objects. They exist in a state of superposition until a disturbance forces them to "choose" ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was ...

This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

PsiQuantum has spent nearly a decade engineering the underlying components, from new types of semiconductors and optical ...
