"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery—and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously observed ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Particles that don’t seem to be entangled have earned a high score on a famous test of entanglement. The experiment could offer a fresh look at what makes the quantum world so strange. Nearly 60 years ...

(Nanowerk News) Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing molecular compositions and structures non-invasively. However, traditional NIR spectrometers are often bulky and ...
