Such advances offer robust methodologies for tackling complex quantum systems and underscore the intimate connection between quantum mechanics and the theory of special functions.

A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

"Wave-particle duality is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics," says Xiaofeng Qian, the paper's lead author and an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stevens.

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. It has puzzled ...

One example is a wave in shallow water. Though governed by classical hydrodynamics, shallow water waves can have waveforms ...

LLMs and the Quantum Superposition of Meaning This brings us to an interesting and very conceptual analogy rooted in quantum mechanics: the concept of wave function collapse.

In 1935, in a Europe on the brink of war, Erwin Schrodinger trapped an imaginary cat inside a quantum puzzle -- and in doing ...

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...
