To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Mind = blown.

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

In the strange world of quantum mechanics, objects can exist in several states at once. This concept, called superposition, is one of the most puzzling features of quantum theory. A particle, for ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...
