Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

A computer model helped isolate a “pinball state” where matter switches back and forth between states. Scientists studied a ...

A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more ...

In this video, we explore fundamental concepts about the atom and the forces that govern it. **CHAPTERS** 0:00 - Why is the Universe inside an atom? 1:29 - What is an atom? 4:44 - Louis de Broglie's ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

On the centennial of modern quantum mechanics, the Nobel Committee awarded the year’s most prestigious physics prize to an experiment that demonstrated how quantum effects play out on large ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...
