Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics honors three quantum physicists—John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis—for their ...

For almost a century, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle's position and momentum cannot be known at the same time with absolute ...

In 1964, physicist John Bell formulated what became known as Bell's Theorem, showing that if quantum mechanics is correct, ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never done ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to three scientists who made electrical circuits act like atoms - an experiment which ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

A strong contender is wavelet theory, a mathematical framework that powers image and video compression across the digital ...
