The Standard Model extends the principles of quantum mechanics—which describes nature at the smallest scales—to provide a comprehensive picture of how the fundamental particles and forces work ...

Biological systems, once thought too chaotic for quantum effects, may be quietly leveraging quantum mechanics to process ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series ...

What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely ...

Phasecraft develops algorithm to improve quantum simulation efficiency paving way for real-world quantum applications.

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Quantum mechanics is the study of the dynamics of particles at its most fundamental level. The state of a particle, such as its position or momentum, is described by a statistical distribution ...

A 56-qubit trapped ion quantum computer from Quantinuum has demonstrated quantum supremacy as a random number generator ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a cornerstone of the standard model of particle physics. A decade-long effort to simulate QED on a two-dimensional lattice has now succeeded — through the use of ...
