Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

Looking back, the rapidity with which quantum mechanics took shape is striking. The equivalence of the matrix and wave formulations was established in the spring of 1926, unleashing a string of ...

The world of quantum physics is experiencing a second revolution, which will drive an exponential leap in the progress of ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...

While this premise offers a streamlined explanation for quantum mechanics, it introduces a ... property where dynamic behavior follows random matrix theory. This approach builds on the ideas ...

This course covers the fundamental concepts and topics of quantum mechanics which include basic concepts, 1D potential problems, time evolution of quantum states, and essential linear algebra. It ...

As proclaimed by the United Nations, 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, or IYQ for short. This year was chosen because it marks the 100th anniversary of Werner ...

"This feels like we have our finger right on the knob of quantum mechanics," Feldman said. "It's an aspect of quantum mechanics that we didn't know about or, at least, we didn't appreciate before ...

The universe is a manifestation of Brahmn- a nondual, absolute singularity that masquerades as a phenomenal plurality, writes Deepak Ranade ...

But is such an outcome inevitable? A new study, relying on the “many worlds interpretation” of quantum mechanics—along with a concept known as “decoherent histories”—shows that ...

In Bohr’s 1913 papers he envisaged atoms along the lines established by his mentor Ernest Rutherford: dense nuclei orbited by ...
