The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

Experimental physicist David Weld’s experimental research interest lies in a question that has been around for a long time, but which we’re only now approaching the ability to investigate. “There’s a ...

Many governments and tech companies are investing heavily in quantum technologies. In New Zealand, the recently announced ...

This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

Many World’s lack wavefunction collapse might be the key to the measurement problem. The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem ...

Researchers Mitsuyoshi Kamba, Naoki Hara, and Kiyotaka Aikawa of the University of Tokyo have successfully demonstrated quantum squeezing of the motion of a nanoscale particle, a motion whose ...

The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. Physicists now investigate how the act of measuring a quantum particle transforms it into an everyday object. The quantum world and ...

There are three types of quantum physicists: (1) those who think quantum mechanics is defaced by a so-called measurement problem; (2) those who think, as I do, that there is no measurement problem; ...

A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their paper published in Science Advances, the group explains that their ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The Rovelli relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) is based on the assumption that the notion of observer-independent state of a ...
