Quantum coin flip: In quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is traditionally regarded as an instantaneous event, but quantum state diffusion treats it as a gradual process, like a coin that wobbles ...

Whether or not Washington ever takes those stakes may matter less than what the rumors represent. We’re witnessing a fusion of industrial policy and market psychology unlike anything since the ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

Los Angeles-based Wave Function Ventures closed its $15 million Fund I to partner with deep tech founders building hardware solutions. The company was started by industry veteran and solo partner ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

Figure 1 | Narwhal-shaped wavefunction. The mode volume characterizes the spatial confinement of an electromagnetic eigenmode and directly determines the strength of light–matter interactions. It is ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of ...

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. & LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wave Function™, a New Bedford, MA-based founding partnership company, has invested in Packsmith.ai, a Los Angeles-based, AI-driven third-party ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...

Programmable quantum simulators have become the modus optandi for clean and tunable realization of strongly correlated electron systems, with ultracold atom setups hosting a wealth of novel phases.
