Could Quantum Mechanics Mean You Never Truly Die?

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

Cutting-edge atomic clocks may soon reveal a strange possibility: time itself behaving like a quantum object, existing in ...

Scientists have measured 'negative time' in a quantum experiment, where photons appeared to exit a rubidium atom cloud sooner than physically expected. Using weak measurement techniques, the team ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

In the last episode of my column in Notices of the American Mathematical Society, we looked at a particle moving in an attractive central force whose strength is proportional to the inverse cube of ...

As researchers continue making strides toward building quantum computers that will perform computations exponentially faster than today’s technology, universities like the University of Maryland (UMD) ...

The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field’s inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies ...
