Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Despite these philosophical differences, Bohmian mechanics makes the same predictions as the Copenhagen interpretation.

Grief. Bereavement. Tunneling. Grief is rarely a linear journey. Human suffering suggests a predictable path, a sequential march through distinct stages of denial, anger, and acceptance. Yet, anyone ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation. Suppose you want to empty a box. Really, truly ...

In October 2024, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China reached a new frontier in quantum physics: a Schrödinger-cat state with an unprecedented coherence time of 1,400 ...

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

The performance of quantum computers could cap out after around 1,000 qubits, according to a new analysis published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Through new calculations, ...
