A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single exotic particle behaves in a many-body system, namely as a mobile or static ...
