Recent experiments have begun to demonstrate how the weird world of quantum mechanics gives way to the familiarity of everyday experience Editor’s note (10/9/2012): We are making the text of this ...

A team of scientists at Freie Universität Berlin has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method for calculating the ground state of the Schrödinger equation in quantum chemistry. The goal of ...

It’s a century-old debate: what is the meaning of the wave function, the central object of quantum mechanics? Is Schrödinger’s cat really dead and alive? I was recently involved in an experiment ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a mathematical ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

With the right supercooled "refrigerator," researchers could prove Schrödinger's cat exists in real life. The classic thought experiment embodies principles of quantum superpositioning. Nobody puts ...
