The acceptance of molecules as 3D structures led to major advances in chemistry, with quantum mechanics providing the theoretical framework. Early successes, like modeling the neutral H2 molecule, ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...

Explore the potential of quantum computing and the challenges ahead as researchers strive to overcome noise and errors.

The many worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, proposed by Hugh Everett in 1957, posits that reality consists of multiple worlds where every possible quantum outcome occurs. This contrasts ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...
