But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

Nature survey shows that disagreement about the meaning of quantum physics remains strong, even 100 years in. And that’s OK.

Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single ...

It’s the weirdest thing: quantum theory works incredibly well in practice. It powers devices ranging from MRI machines to lasers and the very computer you’re reading this on. But even after 100 years, ...

Sarah Tesh reviews Light: the Extraordinary Energy That Illuminates Our World by Jess Wade, illustrated by Ana Sanfelippo ...

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked 1,101 physicists for their takes on ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both ...

Key Points Quantum computing is in its early stages, and two promising companies in the field are D-Wave and IonQ. D-Wave generated a jaw-dropping 509% year-over-year increase in first-quarter ...

"Wave-particle duality is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics," says Xiaofeng Qian, the paper's lead author and an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stevens.

Further research is needed, most notably to determine how wave-particle duality plays out in more complex multipath quantum scenarios.

As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum 2025, the frontier of light-matter interaction is undergoing a revolution. These advances are poised to transform technology, from medical imaging to ...
