Columnist and Physics Why John Stewart Bell has been haunting quantum mechanics for decades The “Bell test” was devised in the 1960s to uncover what’s going on in the quantum world, but it ...

In some ways, death doesn't exist in quantum mechanics. No wonder Albert Einstein thought it made no sense at all, even if the math added up.

Quantum Week at Yale, April 10-17, includes events for all levels of knowledge about quantum research and technology.

Tunneling magnetoresistance, a technology that boosted hard drive storage capacities two decades ago, could be a permanent solution to joystick drift.

It was many people's first introduction to quantum mechanics, gravity and cosmology. He became a cultural icon, with almost everybody able to recognize him and his computerized voice.

In quantum mechanics, amplitudes (complex numbers associated with quantum states) can interfere constructively (adding up) or destructively (canceling out). This isn’t a physical management” by the ...

The challenge of quantum gravity For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity.

The study, titled Gravity from Entropy, introduces a novel approach that derives gravity from quantum relative entropy, bridging the gap between two of the most fundamental yet seemingly incompatible ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of ...

Qubits are the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers — and, when fitted into these machines — rely on the weird laws of quantum mechanics to process calculations in parallel.
