Quantum mechanics is simultaneously beautiful and frustrating. Its explanatory power is unmatched. Armed with the machinery of quantum theory, we have unlocked the secrets of atomic power, divined the ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

During the 20th century, researchers pushed the frontiers of science further than ever before with great strides made in two very distinct fields. While physicists discovered the strange ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move in space. Yet directly imaging these particles with high precision has so ...

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) and their discrete counterparts – the discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) – have emerged as essential tools in the analysis of band‐limited ...

“This retroactive idea. It has to be that,” says Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, reflecting on a problem about the building blocks of reality that has dogged physics for ...

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.
