At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

A team of US researchers has unveiled a device that can conduct electricity along its fractionally charged edges without ...

Heisenberg is a quantum-informed AI platform developed by Famous Labs to support small-molecule drug discovery. It is designed to help drug discovery teams prioritize synthesis, reduce experimental ...

2025年12月，剑桥大学出版社出版了一本颠覆传统认知的著作《Women in the History of Quantum Physics: Beyond Knabenphysik》。这部由Patrick Charbonneau、Margriet ...

Quantum physics describes matter and light in terms of discrete quanta and inherently probabilistic rules that depart from classical intuition. At its heart lie wave–particle duality—entities such as ...
