Quantum Physics

From lifesaving cancer treatments and frog “spas” to a view of the cosmos from your own backyard, science can keep you going through the long, hot days of summer

Outcomes in quantum mechanics depend on observations. But must the observer be human?

Mathematicians picked the most dazzling, thought-provoking and compelling equations they know

Molecular Bose-Einstein condensates could help to provide the answers to fundamental questions or form the basis of new quantum computers

Everything in the universe may be preordained, according to physics

Electrons swarm in a soup of quantum entanglement in a new class of materials called strange metals

Several branches of modern physics, including quantum theory and cosmology, suggest our universe may be just one of many

Physicists seek the dividing line between the quantum world and the classical one

The Short-Baseline Neutrino Program will try to determine once and for all whether sterile neutrinos are real

A mathematician and a musician collaborated to turn a quantum research paper into a jazz performance

Nuclear clocks could shatter timekeeping records. Now physicists are learning how to build one

Quantum physics’ oddities seem less surprising if you stop thinking of atoms as tennis balls, and instead more like waves pushing through water
