They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new method for measuring how long ultrashort events like quantum tunneling to occur at quantum scale time.

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of Schrödinger’s famous cat that is both “here” and “there” at once. By pushing ...
