A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Noncommutative quantum mechanics extends the conventional framework by introducing noncommuting spatial (and sometimes momentum) coordinates, thereby altering the standard uncertainty relations and ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics has long provided a vibrant framework for understanding the microscopic world, with mathematical constructs such as orthogonal polynomials playing a pivotal role. These specialised ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

Quantum technology has spent more than a century in the lab, but the commercial spark is finally catching. Hardware is ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

This section of our lecture series is all about the weird and wonderful world of quantum mechanics. It’s not just abstract ...

Input/output is the term for time before and after a particular physical moment or scenario, and in certain quantum scenarios, those ‘befores’ and ‘afters’ can be interchangeable. Researchers have ...
