Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Researchers, government, academic and industry leaders from across California gathered at UC Santa Barbara on Friday to explore the university’s ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

Physicists seem to be obsessed with cats. James Clerk Maxwell, the father of electrodynamics, studied falling feline s to investigate how they turned as they fell. Many physics teachers have used a ...
