Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called “On the Quantum Theory of Molecules” with his research adviser Max Born. This paper ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

The current state of the art of embedded motion sensing is based around micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. These miracles of microfabrication use tiny silicon structures, configured to ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...
