A team of scientists recently conducted an exciting quantum physics experiment allowing them to demonstrate that reality might actually be real. Well, don’t everybody applaud all at once. It’s ...

Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

This computer-generated visualization shows the wavelike pattern of a “quantum handshake” between a hydrogen atom emitting energy and another atom receiving the energy. (J. Cramer and C. Mead via ...

Quantum mechanics, when examined closely, poses some deep questions about reality. These questions often take the form of thought experiments, which are later (usually much later) followed up by real ...

Quantum collapse models represent a class of theoretical modifications to standard quantum mechanics that seek to resolve the long‐standing measurement problem. They posit that the linear evolution of ...
