Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...
A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...
A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...
Astronomers propose an experiment that may close the last major loophole of Bell's inequality -- a 50-year-old theorem that, if violated by experiments, would mean that our universe is based not on ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...
Over the past decades, the mathematical formulation of physical theories has evolved to provide a unified framework that bridges classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.
