Quantum mechanics has at last been formulated exclusively with real numbers, bringing a mathematical puzzle at the heart of ...

Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

Why is quantum mechanics important? We are used to seeing the world at the macroscopic level. Our eye does not perceive what is really there at its microscopic level, and (maybe) it is better that way ...

One of the most important paradoxes in physics is Schrödinger's Cat. At the microscopic level, light and particles behave according to quantum mechanics. This allows them to be in two places at once ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...
