The speed of light, c, is not just a very large number. In modern physics it is a structural constant: the conversion factor ...

The quantum universe is full of mysteries, and among them, quantum entanglement intrigues with its puzzling properties.

Schrödinger operators, typically formulated as −Δ + V where Δ denotes the Laplacian and V a potential function, are central to quantum mechanics and spectral theory. A key focus in recent ...

Two experiments with different quantum computers showcase their growing ability to simulate materials and quantum matter that ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...
