One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

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

From your morning coffee to the road leading to your office and all other things and people you experience in your everyday life are all part of the classical world. This world is governed by the ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Hunting spacetime fluctuations could unite Einstein and quantum physics By Michael Irving December 05, 2023 An artistic impression of an experiment investigating whether spacetime follows classical or ...

Classical physics encompasses the body of theory developed over the past few centuries that describes the behaviour of macroscopic systems. Rooted in Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, the ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors. Reading time 3 minutes Quantum ...

Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side effect of quantum entanglement. A new study challenges the traditional idea ...

Imagine using your cell phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and diseases. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer.

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