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

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 ...

These waves are at least twice as tall as the surrounding waves. They’re unpredictable. They can come from unexpected ...

In the pilot wave theory, the mathematics that predict probabilities in the Copenhagen interpretation instead describe a background field along which particles travel, much like an electric field.

Scientists are pushing the limits of physics by testing a bold theory called the holographic principle, which might help unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. Credit: SciTechDaily.com One ...

This idea puts a morbid twist on quantum theory, suggesting that a copy of you may remain alive, no matter what.

The universe is a fascinating tapestry of possibilities, woven from the threads of quantum mechanics. Among the most provocative ideas emerging from this field is the many-worlds interpretation (MWI), ...
