One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

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

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

At the quantum boundary This experiment at the University of Vienna proves that objects as big as molecules can interfere. (Image: Robin Riegler) Ever since quantum theory was developed during the ...

It’s tricky business detecting gravitational waves – these ripples in the very fabric of spacetime are often drowned out by background vibrations from earthquakes, traffic and other human activity.

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
