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

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation have long provided fundamental insights into quantum mechanics by furnishing explicit analytical expressions for wave functions and energy spectra. These ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

Quantum computing has long been constrained by the messy reality of controlling fragile qubits with bulky, power-hungry ...
