There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
