A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Quantum state diffusion framework makes it possible to characterize quantum measurement in terms of entropy production ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

The original paper by Kim et al. on the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser suggests the concept of retrocausality, which stems ...

Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
