Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

In 1971, graduate student Stuart Freedman and postdoctoral fellow John Clauser took over a room in the sub-basement of Birge Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and built an experiment ...

A new experiment could in principle test the quantumness of an object regardless of its mass or energy. An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK ...

The double-slit experiment is the best demonstration of quantum weirdness, in which electrons simultaneously act like particles and waves and seemingly violate basic laws of physics. Now we’re trying ...

An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...
