How quantum mechanics emerged in a few revolutionary ... of light emitted and absorbed by hydrogen atoms. The basic hydrogen atom is the simplest of all atoms, now known to consist of a single ...

Face it, a lot of what you think you know is based on what you remember, and what you remember can be very wrong. But that’s ...

Every so often, in the vast reaches of space, a hydrogen atom's electron can flip its ... understand spin, dabble in quantum mechanics, and figure out this whole 21 cm radiation thing.

For several years now, scientists have been using lasers to control the properties of matter at extremely fast rates: during one optical cycle of a light wave. But because these changes occur on the ...

Instantly turning a material from opaque to transparent, or from a conductor to an insulator, is no longer the stuff of ...

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary ...

A new study in Physical Review Letters has used atomic clocks to study relativistic effects in interacting quantum systems.

Quantum entanglement is the cornerstone of practical applications for quantum mechanics. A new study found an easier method for establishing entangled photons, thanks to the help of an AI tool ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity. While quantum mechanics governs the behaviour of particles at the smallest ...
