One of the key principles of quantum physics is the wave-particle duality. It suggests that particles, such as electrons and photons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties ...

A wave of experiments is probing the root of quantum weirdness.

Walliman then goes on to look at the map – and quantum mechanics – in much more detail. “Could we hear the pop of a wave-function collapse, and if so, what would it sound like?” asks Antoine Tilloy of ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

The model, known as Quantum Bayesianism, or QBism for short, reimagines the entity that lies at the heart of quantum weirdness—the wave function.

His mathematical formulation of classical mechanics is fundamental in quantum mechanics and the Hamiltonian plays a central role as an operator acting on the quantum wave function.

In fact, if we can define it, we can quantify just how “wave-like” a particle or set of particles is. Even an entire human being, under the right conditions, can act like a quantum wave.

Weird science There's a long, long history of puzzled physicists showing that the wave function must be a bizarre object. Quantum entanglement is a direct result of the properties of the wave ...

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 ...
