Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is an emerging communication technology that utilizes quantum mechanics principles to ensure ...

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 interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Google’s latest Doodle celebrates World Quantum Day. Quantum computers are one of Google’s big research projects, but the fundamentals can be hard to communicate. For today’s Doodle, Google uses a ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
