Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry,” said physicist professor Mir Faizal.

Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, ...

One of the most important paradoxes in physics is Schrödinger's Cat. At the microscopic level, light and particles behave according to quantum mechanics. This allows them to be in two places at once ...

Experts believe entangling a brain with a quantum computer could finally reveal where consciousness comes from.

The universe is a fascinating tapestry of possibilities, woven from the threads of quantum mechanics. Among the most provocative ideas emerging from this field is the many-worlds interpretation (MWI), ...

Twenty-five years ago, an enigmatic signal was discovered while analyzing the polarization of sunlight with a new instrument, the Zurich Imaging Polarimeter (ZIMPOL). This mysterious linear ...
