Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical ...

Alternative deterministic interpretation generally predicts the same results as standard theories – but maybe not this time ...

Welcome to the digital edition of the July/August 2025 issue of CERN Courier.

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

One hundred years ago, Werner Heisenberg retreated to the island of Helgoland, where he built the foundations of the first full formulation of quantum mechanics. Finding its matrices repugnant, Erwin ...

Quantum mechanics looks at how things work at the atomic and subatomic levels, where particles behave in ways that seem ...

In the strange world of quantum mechanics, objects can exist in several states at once. This concept, called superposition, ...

In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 chance of decaying. If the particle decays, the cat dies; otherwise, the cat ...

The Big Bang Theory taught its viewers a valuable life lesson using Schrödinger's Cat Theory about how reality remains ...

The ocean absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, but exactly how much is uncertain. For instance, estimates from the 2023 Global ...
