The hydrogen atom isn’t just the simplest atom—it’s a perfect playground for exploring quantum mechanics. From Schrödinger’s equation to stunning 3D orbital visualizations, scientists and educators ...

MIT researchers have developed a mathematical formulation using classical physics principles to exactly reproduce results from quantum mechanics. By extending the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with density ...

For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules ...

A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

In the last episode of my column in Notices of the American Mathematical Society, we looked at a particle moving in an attractive central force whose strength is proportional to the inverse cube of ...

Laser light is injected into an optical cavity to continuously measure the position of a movable mirror. The output light is read out by homodyne detection, and the measurement data are analyzed using ...

Scientists have created a new way to generate powerful quantum interactions, achieving the first-ever demonstration of ...

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

Quantum mechanics changed our view of reality. Jim Al-Khalili looks at the metaphors from comedy, literature and drama translating the mathematical equations into stories. Show more Jim Al-Khalili is ...

Liquid hydrogen used as fuel and in medical technology needs to be in the para form, but converting between the two forms ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...
