Previous work that claimed to propose a way to test whether the wave function is real made a splash in the physics community, but turned out to be based on improper assumptions, and no one ever ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. Look at any science magazine’s trending articles and ...

There has long been a mystery when calculating how an incoming light wave scatters off an object and becomes a modified, ...

Experiments led by Humphrey Maris, professor of physics at Brown, suggest that the quantum state of an electron -- the electron's wave function -- can be shattered into pieces and those pieces can ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a mystery – and physicists are deeply divided about what is actually going on, a ...

“Could we hear the pop of a wave-function collapse, and if so, what would it sound like?” asks Antoine Tilloy of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany. To find out why the “sound is ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Some interpretations of quantum mechanics propose that our entire universe is described by a single universal wave function that constantly splits and multiplies.

Researchers developed a technique to calculate quantum wave functions 350 times faster than previous methods.
