One of these phenomena is "uncertainty" in the quantum world: The precision of measurement is inherently limited by quantum mechanical fluctuations. For example, zero-point fluctuation is the quantum ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have pulled off a breakthrough that pushes the boundaries of quantum physics into new territory. The team successfully demonstrated quantum squeezing of the ...

Physicists are still trying to reconcile two different worlds: the quantum and the macro. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Let's ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

Welcome back for our second guided walk into the quantum mechanical woods! Last week, we saw how particles move like waves and hit like particles and how a single particle takes multiple paths. While ...

STOCKHOLM -- Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work on quantum dots -- tiny particles just a few nanometers in diameter that can release very bright colored light ...

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.

Communication is a two-way street. Thanks to quantum mechanics, that adage applies even if you’ve got only one particle to transmit messages with. Using a single photon, or particle of light, two ...

A single nanoparticle made of glass (a white point near the center of the photo) is confined in an optical potential created with a focused laser beam. By detecting the light scattered by the ...
