A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...
