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

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

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 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 ...

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

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, ...

Have you ever struggled with the concept of quantum measurement, feeling it’s unnecessarily abstract? You’re not alone. Enter this guide by [Mithuna] from Looking Glass Universe, where she circles ...

The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. In a publication that appeared as the “Editor’s Suggestion” in Physical Review A this week, UvA physicists Jasper van Wezel and ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

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; ...

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 ...
