An experiment conducted recently at the University of Queensland in Brisbane has lent further credence to the weirdness underlying the world of quantum mechanics, demonstrating that many of the ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a mathematical ...

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!

Analyses on the expansion of equivalent electron functions, on changes in the order of vector coupling, and on the calculation of the V coefficients of part IV are reported. These are of practical ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, have succeeded in creating Schrödinger-cat states using a single rubidium-87 atom in an optical cavity to control a ...

Science writer Carl Zimmer talks with WSJ's Gary Rosen about his new book, "Science Ink," which explores the stories of those who love science so much, they decide to put equations, formulas, or other ...
