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, ...

Thomas Mulligan explains the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and how the thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat suggests that every decision creates a new, parallel universe.

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

Cutting-edge atomic clocks may soon reveal a strange possibility: time itself behaving like a quantum object, existing in ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Physicists are rethinking one of quantum mechanics’ biggest puzzles: how fuzzy possibilities become definite reality. New ...

Jean tells PEOPLE about his upcoming 7-album project 'Quantum Leap' at the 2026 Music Will Benefit in New York City ...

Quantum loops tested: Researchers at MIT and the University of Queensland simulated closed timelike curves with photons and qubits, showing how quantum information can mimic backward time travel. Dark ...

Quantum geometry describes quantum states in systems with changing system parameters, such as an electron spinning in a magnetic field whose direction is slowly changing. The state of the electron ...

The metaphor of Euglena’s tail therefore does two things. First, it expresses the idea that quantum formalism is a manual – a ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have experimentally confirmed a universal growth law in two dimensions using a quantum ...

One of the best-performing models in cosmology is also one with the least physical rationale behind it. Columnist Leah Crane ...
