Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

The evolution of quantum mechanics has continuously deepened our understanding of the microcosm, guiding researchers from the seminal formulation of the Schrödinger equation to more refined ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

A team of international physicists has brought Bayes’ centuries-old probability rule into the quantum world. By applying the “principle of minimum change” — updating beliefs as little as possible ...

Pictured: Water whirls. Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations make it possible to predict the behaviour of liquids under a variety of conditions, from the motion of the oceans, to the flow of blood ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

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 ...

Physicists have proposed modifications to the infamous Schrödinger's cat paradox that could help explain why quantum particles can exist in more than one state simultaneously, while large objects ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...
