What is Quantum Mechanics?

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of ...
For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the ...
Using a technique known as a Bell state measurement, the team interfered one photon from the entangled pair with the photon from the first quantum dot. This caused the information encoded in the first ...
Quantum sciences and materials have profoundly shaped society over last 100 years. It is from medical breakthroughs to quantum computing, and from strategic ...
Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...
Photonic quantum processors, devices that can process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects and particles of light (photons), have shown promise for numerous applications, ranging from ...
Quantum metrology uses quanta — individual packets of energy — for setting the standards that define units of measurement and for other high-precision research. Quantum mechanics sets the ultimate ...
