To honor the 100 th anniversary of quantum mechanics — a revolution in physics as profound as the theory of evolution was for ...

Today, it might be turning your computer off and on again. Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining ...

Scientists propose a relatively simple yet still complicated tabletop experiment to test the quantumness of gravity, aiming ...

To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics on very small scales, began to ...

MIT creates nanoscale transistors for efficient electronics Quantum tunneling delivers low-voltage, high-performance The technology has the potential to replace silicon MIT researchers have ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...

In their paper published in Science Advances, the group explains that their experiment was meant to demonstrate that quantum mechanics is more nonclassical than thought. Quantum mechanics involves ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle ...

Microsoft claims that Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor based on topological qubits. It is designed to enable ...
