Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field’s inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age.

Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, believe they have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon ...

The theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) underpins our understanding of the strong interaction, governing how quarks and gluons interact to form hadrons. One of the most promising nonperturbative ...

Beyond physics and computer science, understanding quantum computing is now essential for ethical, strategic, and creative leadership in every field.
