Nature survey shows that disagreement about the meaning of quantum physics remains strong, even 100 years in. And that’s OK.

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

MIT physicists performed an idealized version of the double-slit experiment, stripping it to its quantum essentials. They ...

Momentum is building for quantum computing and some observers say that a usable, fault-tolerant quantum system could appear ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...

Scientists tackle one of the most challenging problems in physics--the interplay between quantum theory and gravity—from a different angle.

Helgoland, birthplace of quantum theory, where Werner Heisenberg's breakthrough on matrix mechanics revolutionised physics in 1925.
